In 2005 the Airport added a Full Standard Briefing in accordance with ICAO’s flight control standards. Pilots can now obtain all necessary preflight information such as adverse conditions, synopsis, current weather conditions, en route forecast, destination forecast, and any other meteorological and aeronautical data they request. The resulting air navigation decisions can now be performed at a much more informed and therefore safer level.
