Member Associations of IFATCA around the world normally organize events for their members and/or a wider audience to put the profession, which is still relatively unknown to the general public, in the spotlight.
To help spread the word, IFATCA has designed a flyer, a poster and a video.
IFATCA is an independent, non-government, non-political professional organization, and their main objectives are:
- To promote safety, efficiency, and regularity in international air navigation;
- To assist and advise in the development of safe and orderly systems of air traffic control;
- To promote and uphold a high standard of knowledge and professional efficiency among air traffic controllers;
- To protect and safeguard the interests of the air traffic control profession;
- To make mutually beneficial affiliations with other international organizations;
- To strive for a worldwide federation of Air Traffic Controllers‘ Associations.
