Letter of Agreement between Maghreb vACC and Spain vACC
Arrivals:
Arrivals from the south to Gibraltar are unlikely but possible. There are two
possible entries:
●Via BAMBA, in which case arrival will be provided by Spanish
controllers and later on transferred to Casablanca for further
descent. From BARPA to PIMOS the ATC service will be provided by
Gibraltar Approach. If offline, traffic may be told to switch over to
Unicom.
●Via GALTO, in which case the arrival will be provided by Casablanca
and later on transferred directly to Gibraltar Approach.
4.5. Melilla (GEML)
For the purpose of simplification Casablanca has delegated a box of airspace
around Melilla to the Area Control Center of Seville. Thanks to that, planes
transiting from Spain to Melilla won’t have to change unnecessarily
between frequencies.
As seen in the image below, this delegation of airspace goes from surface up
to FL60. From FL70 onwards, this airspace is controlled by Casablanca.
