Air Traffic Controllers need to hold a licence in order to be authorized to perform the duties related to their profession. The licences of Air Traffic Controllers were formerly issued according to ICAO’ s requirements. Following the general guidelines that were set out at 2004, concerning the provision of safe and efficient Air Navigation Services in the Single European Sky, the European Community issued specific rules for the implementation of a Air Traffic Controller License recognized among its member states.

In accordance with the above requirements, HCAA issues Student Air Traffic Controllers’ Licences and Air Traffic Controllers’ Licences given that the applicant:

• Holds a valid medical certificate,
• Is competent as far as linguistic requirements are concerned,
