Belgocontrol, the gendarme of air traffic, becomes ... Skeyes!

The Eyes of Heaven : a new name for the 20 years of the gendarme of the airs

Do not say Belgocontrol anymore!

According to information from the DH,
the Belgian public company responsible for air traffic control,
the training of air traffic controllers and technical personnel,
the installation and maintenance of the air navigation infrastructure in the area of ​​which Belgium is responsible, in short:
the Eyes of Heaven ... change of name!

The organization, which celebrates its 20th anniversary,
will now operate under the new trade name of SKEYES

Parliamentarians are surprised

Yesterday afternoon,
some parliamentarians were already surprised by the procedure followed.

Since Belgocontrol is an autonomous public company,
and therefore an offshoot of the Belgian State,
the only official name remains that stipulated in the Law of 21 March 1991 on the reform of certain public companies.

The problem occurred in 2015 with Belgacom,
which also launched a communication plan under the name Proximus,
without waiting for the law to be amended, before the legal green light.

Parliamentarians are already considering challenging the Minister of Mobility on the new name of Belgocontrol.

Contacted, spokesman Belgocontrol Alain Kniebs refuses to comment on this information,
wanting to reserve the scoop to his teams,
but confirmed that the name would change indeed.
