St Helena Government and Basil Read are pleased to announce that St Helena Airport has been issued an open-ended Air Traffic Service Certification.

The Important Activity and Competency Assessment of the Air Traffic Controllers took place during the arrival and departure of the Inaugural Flight on 14 and 15 October 2017, and the arrival on Saturday, 21 October 2017. The open-ended certification implies that the Airport’s regulator Air Safety Support International (ASSI) will audit routinely as required.

Accountable Manager and Head of Operations for St Helena Airport, Gwyneth Howell, said:

“This is yet another huge achievement for St Helena Airport and the Airport Operation.”
