Minister Creecy Announces Interventions To Rebuild Atns

Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has announced interventions to stabilise and rebuild the Air Traffic and Navigation Services ATNS entity of the Department.

She is briefing the media, alongside the Ministerial Intervention Team that was tasked to investigate the source of problems at the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Board and Management.

Creecy says a process is underway to appoint more personnel and that Safety Management systems are now in place. She further notes that all the recommendations of the Civil Aviation Authority on safety would be implemented.

In December last year, Creecy established a committee of aviation experts to investigate the root cause of the problems that have beset the Air Traffic and Navigation Services in recent times, related to flight instrument procedures that have been the source of flight delays at various airports.
