ITF pushes for ATOS recognition at ICAO Air Navigation Conference

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) was the voice of Air Traffic Management (ATM) workers at the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Fourteenth Air Navigation Conference.  

As the only international organisation representing the interests of all ATM workers, the ITF took part in the conference which took place 26 August - 6 September in Montreal, Canada. 

The ITF's contributions, particularly on system-based Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) licensing and cross-border Air Traffic Services (ATS) operations, received recognition that these issues need further exploration and careful implementation to avoid compromising safety.
