Slovenia currently does not have an established operational air traffic (OAT) system, which means that military and other state flights must either adhere to the same rules as civil air traffic or be separated from it. This limits the flexibility of military flights and reduces operational efficiency.
This thesis analyses the Slovenian airspace using the general air traffic (GAT) system, and also compares it with foreign countries that use the operational air traffic system. A survey was conducted with air traffic controllers regarding the implementation of the OAT system in Slovenia. Finally, the process of introducing the OAT system in Slovenia is described, along with the impact of this introduction on Slovenian airspace in relation to the NATO alliance.
