About Us

Our  Governance

BANSA’s corporate governance establishes the context within which the organization functions to deliver on its business and operational goals and objectives to the benefit of its stakeholders — the government, airspace users, and, ultimately, the people of The Bahamas.

The BANSA Board of Directors observes the principles of transparency, accountability, and effective oversight and management of risks and stakeholder relations. The Board works closely with the senior management team to ensure compliance with national policies and international standards and recommended practices.

Continuous Improvement BANSA’s 5-Year Strategic Plan sets a clear path for advancing air navigation services in The Bahamas. Developed in partnership with senior management and the Bahamas Air Traffic Controllers Union (BATCU), and approved by the Board in May 2022, the plan outlines six strategic pillars and 38 initiatives to enhance ANS service delivery, supported by a robust monitoring and evaluation framework.
