BRUSSELS – The Air Traffic Controllers European Unions Coordination (ATCEUC) extends its heartfelt condolences to the victims
and their families affected by the tragic accident at Washington National Airport.
“Our thoughts are also with the colleagues of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and the entire U.S. air traffic control community as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
ATCEUC stands in full solidarity with the air traffic controllers at Washington National Tower, Potomac TRACON, and across the United
States. We acknowledge the immense challenges they face in the wake of such events and recognize their unwavering professionalism in
maintaining the highest levels of aviation safety.
This tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the complexity and responsibility inherent in the air traffic control profession. It highlights the
critical need for continuous support, adequate resources, and fair working conditions to enable controllers to perform their duties under optimal conditions.
ATCEUC also reaffirms its commitment to the Just Culture principles, which remains a cornerstone of aviation safety. Protecting and
strengthening these principles is essential for fostering an environment where professionals can report safety concerns without fear, ultimately enhancing the safety of the entire aviation system.
A thorough and independent investigation is fundamental to understanding the circumstances of this accident. ATCEUC fully trusts the
U.S. authorities to conduct an impartial inquiry, free from any political or media pressure, that upholds the integrity of aviation safety.
Ensuring transparency and a fact-based analysis will reinforce confidence in the system and contribute to future improvements.
We have complete confidence in the dedication, expertise, and professionalism of our American air traffic controller colleagues. ATCEUC stands ready to offer full support to NATCA and the entire U.S. air traffic control community in any way possible.”
