The air traffic control system is a vast network of people and equipment that ensures the safe operation of commercial and private aircraft. Air traffic controllers ensure the safe orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic, prevent conflict between aircraft on the manoeuvring  area and in the sky. GANS provides information necessary  for the safe and efficient transit  of the flights, notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid and assist such organizations as required.

GANS provides services to many airports and is responsible for over 740,000 annual air traffic movements.

GANS provides Airspace Design, Instrument Flight Procedure Design and Cartography services for both private and government air navigation clients. This service is in accordance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and National Civil Aviation Regulations (CARs).

A. Airspace and Instrument Flight Procedure Design

The goal of these services is to deliver optimum airspace utilization that meets the increased traffic demands. These services enhance safety, improve efficiency, while providing flexible routing using the latest technologies to satisfy the intended airspace concept.

• Approach
• Standard Instrument Departure (SID)
• Standard Arrival (STAR)
• ATS Routes (Enroute)
• Airspace Design and Sectorization

B. Aeronautical Cartography

The purpose of this service is to contribute to the safety, efficiency, and conformity of air navigation. The service provision includes regulated and custom-made aeronautical charts to support airspace design, flight procedure design, and airspace management.

• Procedural Charts
• Non-Procedural Charts
• Minimum Vectoring Altitude Charts
• Area Grid Maps
• ATS Route Charts
• Various other Charts 

Aerodrome and Navigation Aid (Navaid) Safeguarding ensures that necessary measures are taken to ensure the safety of aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome, thus protecting the airspace around the aerodrome to ensure the safety of navigation:

• Aeronautical Studies
• Safeguarding
• Aircraft Warning Light Design
• Critical Area Analysis for Navigational Aids
• Obstacle Limitation Surfaces Analysis
• Electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data (eTOD – WGS-84) Survey
• Reflectivity and Land-use compatibility studies

These service is available to both:

• Airport operators, to ensure external developments do not impact the safe operations of the aerodrome;
