The Global Air Traffic Controllers Alliance, “The Alliance” for short, had their inaugural meeting in Vancouver, BC on September 18 and 19, 2018. At their meeting, The Alliance took the opportunity to set goals, start the process of determining their structure, governance, and future membership.
Paul Winstanley, Prospect ATCO’s Branch Chair and ITF ATS Chair from the United Kingdom, was elected as the first President for a two-year term. Elected as Vice President is Jeremy Thompson, International Liaison Officer and member of the Air Traffic Control Council for NZALPA in New Zealand, who will also serve a two-year term.
Recognising that ATM is a global industry, the member unions of The Alliance work together to meet individual and shared challenges and raise important issues to a global audience while developing and cultivating global relationships.
Stronger together,
The Alliance Executive Board
