FAA och EUROCONTROL publicerade gemensamt ett dokument 2013 som ger en jämförelse av flygledningstjänsten som börjar i avsnitt 2.
De flesta skillnaderna har att göra med att EU består av flera länder, medan i USA har FAA full befogenhet.
Organisation:
The US system is operated by one single service provider using the same tools and equipment, communication processes and a common set of rules and procedures ... [while] the European system is much more fragmented and ANSPs are still largely organised by State boundaries.
Rutt- / luftrumshantering (inklusive specialutrymme för luftrum):
[T]he Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for airspace management and route design[;] in the amalgamated European ATM system, airspace design remains the prerogative of the individual States.
