NAV Portugal's mission is to ensure a SAFE and EFFICIENT provision of Air Navigation Services, assuming a paramount key role in the aviation sector.
NAV Portugal carries out its work on mainland Portugal and in the Portuguese autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira. The company’s head offices are situated next to Lisbon Airport, as well as the Lisbon Air Traffic Control Center and the company's Training Center. The Oceanic Control Center is located on the island of Santa Maria in the Azores Autonomous Region.
In addition to these two important centers, NAV Portugal also has other infrastructures, providing air traffic services in the control towers of Lisbon, Cascais, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Porto Santo, Santa Maria, Ponta Delgada, Horta and Flores airports.
To fully carry out its mission, NAV Portugal has a considerable amount of equipment and many technical installations (radar, radio and communications stations) in several points of mainland Portugal and the autonomous regions.
The Oceanic Air Traffic Management System on Santa Maria and the phased entry into service of a new generation of air traffic management systems in Lisbon have been of crucial importance in keeping NAV Portugal in the forefront of air navigation service providers.
