During the UK membership of the EU some air traffic controllers exchanged their UK ATCO licence for an EU Member State ATCO licence to enable them to work in that Member State.
ATCOs who wish to have their UK ATCO licence reissued should follow the process below.
How do I apply?
Applications are made to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Air Traffic Service (ATS) Licensing Assessment on the Application for the reissue of a UK Regulation 2015/340 Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) licence that has been exchanged for an EU Member State Licence. Form SRG 1411f.
Along with the application form please provide proof of identity e.g. A certified copy of a valid passport, EU National identity Card or full photographic driving licence.
How much does it cost?
The cost of the reissue of an Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) licence is detailed in the Official Record Series ORS 5 - Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Scheme of Charges (Personnel Licensing).
What else do I need to know
Ratings and licence endorsement obtained in an EU Member State will not be transferable to the reissued UK licence. The reissued licence will only show those ratings and licence endorsements that were obtained in the UK.
Incorrect or incomplete application forms may delay the issue of the licence.
How long will it take for my application to be processed?
Applications for the reissue of an Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) Licence will normally be processed within 10 working days, although for administrative reasons, this may not always be possible.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Licensing Assessment will contact you if there are any queries regarding your application.
What happens next?
After checking that the application is in order, the application will then be processed, the licence produced and dispatched to the applicant’s address.
