VDF’s annual assembly in 1959. At this
conference, a resolution to form a
worldwide organisation was passed.
However, before this took place a further
20 associations had expressed an interest
in joining the federation, including
organisations from the US and Canada.
This led to the foundation meeting in
October 1961 of the European
Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’
Associations, in which it was decided to
create IFATCA.
IFATCA structure
The Federation comprises member
associations from all over the world,
divided into four regions – Africa and the
Middle East, Americas, Asia and Pacific
and Europe. Each of these regions is
presided over by an elected Executive
Vice-President, who is a member of the
governing body – the Executive Board
(EB) – which is responsible for the
management of the Federation and elects
its members on a biennial basis. The EB
consists of the President and Chief
Executive Officer, the Deputy President,
Executive Vice-President (EVP) Finance,
EVP Professional and EVP Technical.
Meetings to discuss the Federation’s
management and business are held every
three months.
IFATCA activities
The Federation cooperates with national
and international aviation authorities and
other institutions active in the field of air
navigation to assist in developing new
procedures and facilities promoting the
safety of international air traffic. It collects
and distributes information on
professional problems and developments
around the world and seeks to support
and sponsor the passage of legislation and
regulations, which will improve and
protect the safety of air navigation through
the development of appropriate working
conditions in air traffic control. IFATCA
participates on a regional basis in all
ICAO regions through its own regional
representatives in order to compare
developments and monitor progress.
The Controller quarterly magazine is the
Federation’s voice to the outside world and
covers all aspects of air traffic control, with
an emphasis on human factors and new
technology. Developments in avionics and
control techniques, as well as new airborne
and ground-based equipment are also
closely monitored in the publication,
which has its own website:
www.the-controller.net.
IFATCA has recently published The
Global Statement on the Future of ATM.
This working document details the
Federation’s current position on the
future of ATM with regards to
performance expectations, the role of
humans and technology, the use of
ICAO’s global operational ATM concept
components and trajectory management.
The global statement is IFATCA’s second
such publication, having previously
published a Vision Statement, which
underlined its support of the
development of a future seamless global
ATM system as proposed by ICAO
CNS/ATM (Communications,
Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic
Management) systems and highlights the
key areas in which air traffic controllers
can help to make the future concept
work. Both statements are available from
the IFATCA website www.ifatca.org.
Each spring the organisation holds an
annual conference in which the delegates
discuss and pass resolutions to further the
cause of the controller in the context of
the emerging ATM system. Each
conference is organised by the
volunteering member association and is
well covered by the host country’s news
media. Member associations from all over
the world attend the annual conference, as
do observers from international partner
organisations, including ICAO, ITF,
EUROCONTROL, IFALPA and IATA.
