Who We Are
The Association of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel is a voluntary, professional, non-political, non-profit and non-governmental organization that brings together experts engaged in the operation, maintenance, planning, modernization and installation of electronic systems within the air navigation system. The Association operates in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim of enhancing the safety, regularity and efficiency of air traffic through the strengthening of professional standards and the role of air traffic safety electronics personnel in modern aviation.
The Association is founded on the principles of voluntary membership and operates in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its activities are focused on professional development, knowledge and experience exchange, continuous improvement of technical competencies, and the advancement of reliable air navigation and air traffic control systems essential for safe and efficient air navigation services.
As a member of IFATSEA (International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Associations), the Association is part of the international professional community. This membership enables cooperation with global experts and institutions, facilitates the exchange of best practices, and ensures continuous alignment with international standards and emerging trends, while adapting them to the regulatory and operational framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
About IFATSEA
The International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Associations (IFATSEA) was founded to represent and promote the professional interests of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel worldwide. The Federation officially came into being following a series of meetings, culminating in an inaugural Assembly in Frankfurt in October 1972. Initially, ten countries were represented: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
IFATSEA’s primary objective is the recognition of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel by national and international aviation bodies. From its early days, the Federation sought to achieve this by producing a professional journal and advocating for the amendment of ICAO Annex 1.
Over the years, IFATSEA has grown steadily: by the early 1980s, membership had doubled, and the Federation was formally recognized by organizations such as ICAO, ILO, and EUROCAE. By 1992, IFATSEA represented professionals in 36 countries, and today it has expanded to 50 affiliated countries, continuing to support, connect, and represent Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel across the globe.
