We are also in the process of developing our entire human resources to meet the industry standard. Our commitment to our objectives led us to invest hugely in adapting the ADS-B technology and augment the capacities of our Air Traffic Controllers and Engineers. Currently, we have eight (8) stations providing VHF coverage to the entire airspace and are implementing ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) technology, a pseudo-type of a Radar technology.
Even though our region faces lots of challenges ranging from socioeconomic to political and human capital, our commitment to maintaining safe skies keeps us motivated to exert efforts toward building our capacity to overcome these difficulties.
Despite all these investments that have huge financial implications, we charged the same ANC rate for our services from January 1975 to January 2017. It is only beginning February 2017 that we made a slight increase in our ANC rate with the consensus of IATA and ICAO. Even with this increase, we offered a 40% discount to our clients from February to July 2017. It is only from August 2017 that we will begin to implement our new rates at 100%.
We hope that this change will keep us in a better position to continuously adopt new technologies and equipment that will improve and sustain the quality of our services rendered to users of our airspace while remaining compliant with ICAO’s requirements and regulations.
At the height of it all, we remained committed to our objective - providing safe air traffic services to users of our airspace and focused on our ultimate goal – maintaining safe skies.
Thank you.
