A comprehensive review of operational practices and procedures at Jersey Airport’s Air Traffic Control facility has been completed ahead of the relocation of air traffic services to the new Control Centre in Spring 2010.
The review identified that the high level of automation created by the new equipment being sited in the new building would change the structure and resources required to operate air traffic services in compliance with safety regulations and industry standards. As a consequence, the role of air traffic control assistant (ATCA) will be progressively phased out over the next two years, seeing a reduction from 11 to five officers by August 2010 with a total cessation of the role by late 2011.
Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Senator Paul Routier, who has specific responsibility for Jersey Airport said, “Changes implemented as a result of the recommendation will put Jersey Airport into a stronger position for the future in terms of the required skills, knowledge, equipment and premises needed to ensure the continuation of its high level air traffic services. However, the reality of the situation is the acknowledged loss of these support jobs, which is never an easy decision and one that was not taken lightly.”
The recommendation was submitted to and subsequently ratified by the States Employment Board.
