The third component of The Aviation System is airlines.
They are companies that provide scheduled flights for passengers and cargo. They are complex businesses that employ a large contingent of human resources to oversee airline operations which includes performing a variety of tasks such as operation control, flight planning and flight monitoring. Find out more about airlines, their roles and functions in Chapter 5: Airline Management and Chapter 6: Airline Operations!
Lastly, we have air navigation service providers! More commonly referred to as ANSPs, they are companies or agencies that provide Air Traffic Control services to aircrafts. Most ANSPs are currently owned by the government of the country but ICAO recommends that ANSPs be separate from the regulator due to the possible conflicts of interests that may arise. They manage air traffic during all phases of aircraft operations to ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircrafts on ground and in the air. They have to maintain safe and efficient flow of air traffic at all times as well as prevent aircrafts from colliding with one another while flying in airspaces.
