About Us

By establishing Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Navigation Services Agency (BHANSA), Bosnia and Herzegovina has provided the conditions for the beginning of taking control and management of its airspace.

BHANSA was established in 2009. by adopting of the Law on Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Navigation Services Agency ("Official Gazette of BiH", No. 43/09) as a non-profit and financially independent institution with the status of a legal entity.

A headquarter of BHANSA is in Mostar, and other organizational units are arranged in Banja Luka, Sarajevo and Tuzla.

On November 13, 2014, thanks to the joint efforts of all employees, our partners and friends, BHANSA has started to providing regional air traffic control services from the Air Traffic Control Unit (ATCU I) in the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina up to 10,000 meters (from FL 100 to FL 325).

Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Navigation Services Agency (BHANSA) took control over Bosnia and Herzegovina's airspace after midnight on December 4, 2019 thus opening a new chapter in the history of BH aviation.

This event marked the full implementation of Phase II of the Development Strategy of Air Traffic Management System of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH ATM Strategy), which has resulted in the entire airspace above Bosnia and Herzegovina no longer being controlled by neighboring countries but by Bosnia and Herzegovina itself.

The law stipulates that BHANSA is financed by funds generated through the provision of air navigation services, which include:

1. provision of air traffic management services,
2. provision of communication, navigation and surveillance services,
3. provision of aeronautical information services,
4. provision of aeronautical meteorological services,
5. operations of the rescue coordination center in searchin and rescuing,
6. professional education and training of air traffic control staff,
7. export and import for the needs of the Agency,
8. other tasks and operations that are in the service of safe air navigation.

In performing its activities, BHANSA applies the principles and procedures of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL), as well as the national legislation which regulates the air traffic control.

BHANSA is certified as an air navigation service provider and for air traffic controller training.
