Established in Washington, D.C. in 1956 by a group of air traffic controllers, ATCA has been from the outset dedicated to progress in the science of air traffic control and the preservation of a safe flight environment. It provides a forum in which those concerned can address the myriad issues inherent to the development of viable air traffic control systems and aviation infrastructures, and the ever-increasing demands on the global navigable airspace environment.
