Staff reductions by the Spanish air navigation service provider AENA will place a single air traffic controller in charge of radar service for the Canarias Flight Information Region (FIR) during overnight hours, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) says. The single-controller operation will be in effect between 0100 and 0500, IFALPA said. IFALPA said that crews flying to Gran Canaria International Airport (GCLP) in the Canary Islands "should be aware that during these hours, no radar vectoring to the GCLP localizer or radar monitoring of the approach will be available." In addition, radar assistance may not be available for standard instrument departures or standard terminal arrivals.
