  4. Business Concept • Our strategy will be to focus on the air traffic management needs and expectations of the ATM Community, primarily in South Africa, as well as the rest of the Africa and Indian Ocean Region (AFI) and ultimately in selected global markets • We will develop a thorough understanding of the global ATM community with emphasis on product and service offerings, technology developments and clients in order to effectively respond to the needs and expectations of our selected markets with innovative and relevant air traffic management solutions and associated services • We will source, develop, market, distribute and support a complete range of air traffic management solutions and associated services that meet the needs and expectations of access, equity, safety, efficiency predictability, environmental sustainability and affordability, thereby supporting our clients and the ATM community at large

  5. Business Concept (cont…..) • It is an imperative that we stabilise and enhance our air traffic management solutions and associated service provision in South Africa in order to create a platform from which we can leverage strategic partnerships, our global influence as well as harmonised technologies and methods to become the leading air traffic management provider in the AFI region, to secure our future growth, revenue, profit and relevance as a provider of choice • Over the long term, we intend to expand further into selected markets around the globe, whilst at the same time expanding our range of services in air traffic management that are appropriate for market needs and expectations • Our business model will be supported through attracting, developing, retaining and appropriately rewarding a diverse and motivated team that has the right skills, experience, commitment and drive to implement this strategy, creating win-win solutions

  6. Business Concept (cont….) • The effective implementation of this strategy will ensure a well equipped resource base, enhance financial sustainability and support the global air traffic management systems

  7. Strategic Imperatives • To deliver continuous improvement of our safety performance • To become a transformative organization which invests in its people • To provide efficient air traffic management solutions and associated • services which meets the needs and expectations of the air traffic management community • To maintain long-term financial sustainability • To play a leading role in the development of air traffic management solutions and associated services in Africa and selected international markets • To deploy and use leading technologies to the benefit of the air traffic management community

  8. Play a leading role in the development of Air Traffic management solutions • VSAT Networks • Together with our partner International Air Transport Association • (IATA) , we are the Network Service Providers for the two regional • satellite communication networks • The SADC VSAT 2 network connects 15 States in Southern Africa including Rwanda and Burundi • The NAFISAT network connect 13 States in North East Africa and the Middle East • ATNS will operate and manage the projects until 2014 (SADC • VSAT 2) and 2015 (NAFISAT)

  9. Play a leading role in the development of air traffic management solutions (cont…) During 2009/10 ATNS trained 1732 delegates (999 ATNS, 213 from across the African Continent as well as 520 from airline industry on IATA Courses) We are in partnership with both the Governments of Southern and Northern Sudan to develop the aviation sector. We have trained 59 Sudanese on various aviation courses Namibia is in the process of implementing Radar equipment across Namibia. In preparation for the completion of this project. ATNS is training ATCs to qualify as radar controllers. We are also training Namibian technicians to qualify as engineering technicians

  10. Play a leading role in the development of Air Traffic management solutions (cont…) Current billing project ATNS provide billing services for the Namibian Directorate of Civil Aviation. Revenue collected will benefit Namibia to develop and maintain the air traffic and navigation infrastructure. • Future billing projects • Angola and Ghana expressed interest for ATNS to provide Non IATA • billing services • Finalising the billing agreement with Ghana
