Still, Europe's airlines are pushing for a uniform airspace, which would be regulated by the European Commission.
The designation of "satellites" is important here, as the idea has been to position these aircraft above the airspace that the FAA regulates in the U.S. Class A airspace ends at 60,000 feet stateside, and above that the U.S. doesn't regulate, Fortune had pointed out last summer.
