Regional Meeting
2026 IFATCA Americas Regional Meeting hosted by the Colegio De Controladores De Transito Aereo De Chile
This year's regional meeting will be held in Santiago, Chile on October 6-8, 2026.
Join your IFATCA brothers and sisters in beautiful Santiago, Chile to fulfill the Federation’s objectives to protect and safeguard the interests of the air traffic control profession and air traffic controllers, and promote and uphold a high standard of knowledge and professional efficiency among air traffic controllers through the origination of policies and the spreading of knowledge. While the RMs allow for attendees to learn, share essential information, and provide for a continuous exchange of ideas and experiences, it is also imperative that we create, maintain, and enhance the worldwide fellowship of air traffic controllers, which enables the Federation to carry out the above objectives.
"Camaraderie doesn't happen by accident; developing a strong sense of trust, accountability, and togetherness around team goals requires intentional effort." Don Yaeger
