Six additional operators joined Eurocon-trol's Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) "Pioneer Airlines Project," designed to help airlines obtain airworthiness approval for their existing ADS-B equipment. Air France, Air Mediterranee, Air One, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines and automaker Volkswagen joined the project, launched last year as part of Eurocontrol's CASCADE program. The six companies join 11 others that became part of the project in 2006. In total, more than 400 aircraft are now involved, generating more than 500,000 ADS-B certified flights per year in European airspace, Eurocontrol said.
