Air Navigation Services and Aerodrome (ANSA) Division, established in July 2022, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of aviation regulation and oversight in Malaysia. Born from the merger of the Air Navigation Services Standard Division and Aerodrome Standards Division, ANSA is a unified entity that brings together the strengths and expertise of both domains. ANSA generally operates in two primary areas: the Air Navigation Services (ANS) and the Aerodrome and Ground Aids (AGA).
The ANS wing focuses on ensuring seamless and safe Air Traffic Management (ATM) Operations, harmonizing flight procedures and relevant publications, managing licensing activities for Air Traffic Controller personnel, and overseeing robust communication, navigation, and surveillance services in Malaysia.
On the other hand, the AGA wing directs its efforts towards the growth, safety, and sustainability of aerodrome operations, both international and domestic. This includes the strategic development of aerodromes and its surroundings, the regulation of specialized aviation operations like water aerodromes, Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) ports, and ensuring the safety of helicopter operations through heliports.
With a commitment to excellence and in alignment with international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other countries best practices, ANSA plays a vital role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and sustainable development of the country’s air navigation system and aerodrome infrastructure.
Our Vision
To be a global leader in the regulation of air navigation services and aerodromes, upholding the highest standards of safety, quality, and innovation.
Our Mission
To regulate and oversee the air navigation services and aerodrome operations in Malaysia, ensuring adherence to Malaysia Civil Aviation Regulations (MCAR) 2016, ICAO standards and recommendations. At the same time benchmarking with other international best practices and contributing to the robust growth of the aviation industry.
