Bosnia and Herzegovina fully took control of its airspace on December 5, 2019, culminating a gradual process that began in 2007, with the final handover managed by BHANSA, and officially assumed complete responsibility for air traffic control on March 31, 2021. This transition marked a significant step in asserting national sovereignty, improving aviation safety, and enhancing efficiency, especially given the country's strategic location in European airspace. Currently, air traffic management responsibilities are fragmented among agencies such as BHDCA, FEDCAD, and RSCAD, which hampers operational efficiency, but Bosnia is actively working to modernize its ATM system through collaborations with Eurocontrol, adopting advanced technology, integrating systems, and establishing a dedicated BHANSA to align with EU standards, foster economic growth, and ensure safer, more efficient air traffic operations across its territory.
