The Civil Aviation Authority informs that at the meeting of the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell on January 12 this year, it was agreed to use the AFTM-X procedure in the case of critical transport flights of COVID-19 vaccines.
To ensure that COVID-19 vaccine distribution flights are correctly identified by ATC and ATM and given appropriate priority, aircraft operators of flights carrying such vaccines should request for approval from CAA of Poland (caapl@ulc.gov.pl) for exemption from ATFM measures for each flight deemed critical. Upon approval, STS/ATFMX and RMK/VACCINE shall be inserted in Item 18 of the flight plan. Aircraft Operators carrying COVID-19 vaccines regularly may request approval in advance for all flights involved.
