About JATCA

Serving Jamaica's Aviation Community

JATCA represents the men and women who safeguard Jamaica's airspace. Working alongside the JCAA and IFATCA, we champion safety, professional development, and better working conditions for controllers across the island.

What is Air Traffic Control?

Controllers guide every aircraft through Jamaica's airspace — from pushback to landing. Managing the Kingston Flight Information Region, one of the Caribbean's most critical sectors, requires razor-sharp focus and split-second decisions.
