HQ Function

Serves as the central hub for air traffic management operations, including the Zagreb Area Control Centre (ACC). It also houses administrative departments, technical support services, training facilities, and strategic planning units.

Notable Features:

State-of-the-art Area Control Centre (ACC) with advanced ATM systems (including Thales TopSky), extensive simulator facilities for air traffic controller training, robust CNS (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance) infrastructure, and secure operational areas.

Work Culture:

A highly professional and safety-critical environment demanding precision, teamwork, and continuous learning. The culture emphasizes responsibility, adherence to strict operational procedures, and ongoing professional development for its specialized staff, particularly air traffic controllers.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters is the nerve center for managing Croatia's sovereign airspace, ensuring the safety and efficiency of thousands of flights daily. It is a critical piece of national infrastructure, vital for international aviation, national security, and the Croatian economy, especially tourism.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters reflects Croatia Control's core values: safety as the highest priority, operational excellence, technological innovation, professionalism, and commitment to service in managing a key national asset.

Location:

While Croatia Control's primary operational focus is the provision of air navigation services within Croatian airspace (Zagreb FIR), it maintains a significant international presence through active participation in global and European aviation bodies. This includes membership and collaboration with EUROCONTROL (the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation), CANSO (Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation), and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Croatia Control engages in cross-border cooperation with neighboring ANSPs to ensure seamless air traffic management. It also participates in strategic European initiatives like SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) for the modernization and harmonization of air traffic management systems across Europe. Historically, it was a member of the COOPANS alliance, which focused on shared ATM system development.
