Despite setbacks, Europe will stick with January RVSM start
Eurocontrol has confirmed it will definitely proceed with next year’s January 24 deadline for implementation of reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM)

Eurocontrol has confirmed it will definitely proceed with next year’s January 24 deadline for implementation of reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM) in European airspace. The new 1,000-ft separation will apply between FL 290 and FL 410. Noncompliant aircraft (regardless of their state of registry) will be excluded from these flight levels.

All business aircraft manufacturers are now urging operators to stop procrastinating over the modifications required to meet the requirements. Evidently, many operators have been holding out for yet another postponement of the RVSM deadline.
