Guild of Air Traffic Control Officers

[6] GATCO is run by an Executive Board supported by other officers and a team of representatives who sit on various key aviation committees.

GATCO members are employed at units from small general aviation and military airfields to major international airports and en route centres.

GATCO membership is also open to corporate members which throughout the years included airlines such as British Airways and bmi, equipment manufacturers and communication systems developers such as Thales, Frequentis and Micronav, defence technology companies such as Qinetiq,[8] and training providers such as Global ATS, FTE Jerez and ITAerea.

Over the years, GATCO has played a leading role within the federation, providing numerous reports and working papers.

This involvement allows the views and concerns of individual GATCO members to be heard and provides the opportunity to influence worldwide aviation regulations and procedures.
