Welcome to the EGATS Website
EGATS is the professional association of Air Traffic Control staff of EUROCONTROL. The largest part of its membership are the Air Traffic Control staff working at the Upper Area Control Centre of EUROCONTROL, Maastricht UAC. At the moment, this is the only operational ATC Centre operated by EUROCONTROL on behalf of 4 States: Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands.
Good cause
One of our colleagues, James Kench, is trying to raise money for a good cause... You can read all about it here:
http://www.justgiving.com
As EGATS is sponsoring the rugby and ski teams, and previously the football team, we considered it worthy to make a donation to this cause also.
Of course it would be very nice if more of us followed.
Ive Van Weddingen, EGATS President
Report AGM 2008 / minutes AGM 2007 added
We've added the report for the AGM 2008 to our publications section. Additionally, the minutes of the 2007 AGM, which were approved at the 2008 AGM can be found there as well. Direct access to the General Meeting documents is here.
New website
As you can see, we're re-working the EGATS website. The old site had been online since a few years, but was becoming very hard to maintain. We clocked off at just under 1.000.000 visitors in less than 5 years that the site was online!
Using a new content management system (Drupal) hopefully we'll be able to add stories and things more frequently.
A contact sheet should be up soon, in case you want to tell us something (or god-forbid: help out with anything ;-)
Items from the old website will be added (slowly) in the next few days/weeks/months. So check back regularly.
