About Bansa

archipelago

Our Values

We value professionalism, teamwork, and diversity, and are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining top talent. By embracing innovation and technology, we strive to provide safe and reliable air navigation services while consistently pursuing excellence. We identify and reward performance to ensure that our people and our organization continue to grow and succeed together.

Our History

BANSA was established on February 21, 2021, as an autonomous air navigation service provider under the Bahamas Air Navigation Services Authority Act, 2021. Previously, air navigation services were managed by the Bahamas Air Navigation Services Division (BANSD), part of the Civil Aviation Authority of The Bahamas, and before that, the Civil Aviation Department. BANSA’s creation aligned with ICAO guidelines, which recommend separating regulators from service providers to avoid conflicts of interest and strengthen confidence in the system.

As of June 30, 2022, BANSA had 158 employees—comprising air traffic controllers, electric technicians, administrative and finance staff, and executive management.

By combining advanced technology with a highly skilled team, we strive to deliver seamless operations that support the aviation community, foster trust, and contribute to the continued growth and connectivity of The Bahamas and beyond.

Our Vision

We strive to become a global leader in delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable air navigation services—setting new standards of excellence in aviation. Through innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to safety and sustainability, we aim to strengthen international connectivity, inspire confidence in the skies, and contribute to the advancement of global air transportation.

Our Company
