sources The 2012 edition of the brochure is based on the 2011 figures derived from EUROCONTROL s Central Route Charges Office (CRCO) for the GAT IFR data, and from EUROCONTROL Members States for OAT and military fleets. 2011 data for the military fleets, however, have not been provided by all Member States. In such cases we kept the data derived from open sources in 2010. As this is an on-line publication only, we will be pleased to update as soon as more feed back from users is provided.
