NATCA

As public servants working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year our controllers are working harder than ever to make sure you get to your destination safely. But, this website is about more than that. It's about issues that affect safety and the jobs we do -- issues that concern anyone using this country's national airspace system -- and this site is where you can find the latest news and information on these important topics.

NATCA represents over 20,000 controllers, engineers and other safety-related professionals, with membership from every state, territory and possession of the United States. Certified in 1987, we are one of the strongest and most influential labor unions in the federal sector, and a direct affiliate of the 

(AFL-CIO). 

Highly skilled and fully committed to ensuring the safety of every flight, our team of safety professionals is proud to represent not only the interests of our membership, but the safety interests of the flying public as well. Safety Above All is the litmus test in which all decisions are based as we continually strive to improve and enhance aviation safety in order to maintain the safest air traffic control system in the world.
