The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has assured airlines, aviation stakeholders, and the travelling public of uninterrupted air traffic services despite a planned industrial action by the Ghana Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association (GhATSEA).
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Authority announced that it has activated comprehensive contingency measures to ensure the continued safe, reliable, and secure provision of air traffic services across the Accra Flight Information Region (FIR).
The assurance follows GhATSEA’s notice of a proposed strike scheduled for Thursday, October 30, 2025.
According to the GCAA, management has developed and implemented a Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) Systems Contingency Plan to sustain operations and avoid disruptions to both domestic and international flight activities.
“The contingency plan outlines detailed operational procedures, designated response teams, and robust coordination mechanisms designed to uphold aviation safety and service integrity during the period of the industrial action,” the statement said.
The Authority urged all stakeholders and the travelling public to remain calm and confident, emphasizing its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of air navigation service delivery.
“GCAA remains fully committed to maintaining the safety and security of all flights within Ghana’s airspace,” the statement added, noting that the Authority continues to value human capacity development and promote staff welfare.
The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority is responsible for regulating air transport services and ensuring the safe management of Ghana’s airspace, which serves as a critical route for regional and international aviation traffic.
