This is how the Headline News data is presented in the NOP.

Headline news are events that have a significant impact on the ATFCM Network – the same way the headlines of a newspaper announce the main events of the day. These events may be foreseen or not.

Examples:

• Industrial action,
• Airspace closure,
• Sporting event,
• Bad weather with significant regional impact,
• etc.

Headline news must not be confused with AIMs (ATFCM Information messages). Events with minor or local impact on the ATFCM Network may be announced via an AIM while significant events will be announced via both media. It will be let to the CFMU operations to determine the events that come within the Headline News category.
