The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has assured airline operators, aviation stakeholders, and the travelling public that air traffic services will remain uninterrupted despite a threat of industrial action by the Ghana Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association (GhATSEA).
In a statement signed and issued by management, the Authority said comprehensive contingency measures had been activated to ensure the continued safe, reliable, and secure provision of air traffic services across the Accra Flight Information Region (FIR).
The GhATSEA had served notice of a proposed industrial action effective Thursday, October 30, 2025. However, the GCAA indicated that in anticipation of the threat, it had developed and implemented a CNS/ATM Systems Contingency Plan to maintain operational continuity and prevent disruptions to both domestic and international flight operations.

The Authority urged all stakeholders, airlines, and members of the travelling public to remain calm and confident in the measures put in place. It further reiterated its full commitment to maintaining the highest standards of air navigation service delivery and ensuring the safety and security of all flights within Ghana’s airspace.
“The Authority will continue to value human capacity development and promote staff welfare,” the statement added.
Established in 1986, the GCAA is Ghana’s regulatory agency for air transport. It provides air navigation services within the Accra Flight Information Region, licenses air transport operations, and regulates aerodrome operations. The Authority also oversees economic regulation, consumer protection, and the facilitation of efficient aviation operations and services.
