Military Aviation Authority (MAA)
The MAA in its regulatory role provides, through coordination with FOCA, the framework within which the Air Force and other state players in military aviation can evolve as freely, efficiently and safely as possible.
Air Traffic Management (ATM) & Infrastructure
In the evolving environment of airspace structure optimisation and dynamic airspace management, the ATM & Infrastructure Authority within the Swiss MAA preserves the all-important access to airspace for military aircraft, according to current and future operational requirements and in the primary interest of air sovereignty. By doing so, it makes a vital contribution to the operational performance of the Swiss Air Force, while maintaining the required level of safety.
Compliance & Controlling
The Compliance and Controlling Management unit (CCM) acts as a key support function for the MAA executive board, providing oversight across compliance, quality, and controlling domains. Much like a Flight Management System continuously cross-checks navigation data, detects deviations from the planned flight path and initiates timely corrections to keep the aircraft on course, the CCM unit ensures that MAA processes are monitored independently and on a consistent basis. It identifies process deviations, investigates their underlying causes, and formulates targeted recommendations and corrective actions.
