The GLCCA – Guilde Luxembourgeoise des Contrôleurs de la Circulation Aérienne – is the professional association representing air traffic controllers in Luxembourg. Our role is to defend the professional interests of air traffic controllers, contribute to aviation safety discussions and represent our members at national and international level.
Legal national and international representation of air traffic controllers. GLCCA represents Luxembourg air traffic controllers in professional, operational and institutional matters, with a clear focus on safety, working conditions and the long-term quality of air traffic control services.
Where We Are
GLCCA is based at Luxembourg Airport, where Luxembourg air traffic controllers work in the operational environment of the BTO – Bloc Technique Opérationnel. Luxembourg Airport is located a few kilometres east of Luxembourg City and plays an important role in both passenger and cargo aviation. Although Luxembourg is a small country, its aviation environment is operationally complex. The airport handles a mix of commercial traffic, cargo operations, general aviation, training flights, helicopters and special flights. This makes air traffic control in Luxembourg a demanding and safety-critical profession.What We Do
