The job of AFIS operator is wide-ranging and is carried out in a state-of-the-art and newly renovated AFIS tower. The service is performed using the ARTAS radar system.
HCA Airport is much more than traditional aviation and aviation-related activity.

This makes up a large part of the activities. In addition, HCA Airport has office space and several companies within the drone industry and aviation.
In 2024, HCA Airport had approximately 7,500 aircraft operations and approximately 6,000 drone operations.
If this sounds like an exciting opportunity and you want to be part of the future development where drones and manned aviation will fly side by side - the aviation of tomorrow - starting at HCA Airport, then the AFIS Operator position is open.
