skeyes is Belgium's public air traffic control authority, handling over a million flight movements annually across Brussels and five regional airports, plus airspace above Luxembourg up to 7,500 metres. The tech stack reflects operational maturity—GPS/GNSS for precision, Azure/Databricks/Snowflake for data pipelines, Tableau/Power BI for dashboards—paired with active projects in real-time airspace monitoring, unmanned traffic management (UTM), and safety system strengthening. Hiring velocity has slowed while ops roles dominate the open pipeline, suggesting focus on execution over expansion.
skeyes operates Belgium's civil air traffic control system as an autonomous public company, employing nearly 900 staff across Brussels, Antwerp, Charleroi, Kortrijk, Liège, and Ostend airports. The organisation manages both conventional air traffic and emerging unmanned aircraft operations, serving airlines, airports, and aviation authorities. Core operations centre (CANAC 2) handles real-time flight sequencing and safety oversight. Beyond ATC, skeyes develops drone services and contributes to aviation sustainability initiatives. All hiring is currently concentrated in Belgium.
skeyes uses GPS/GNSS for navigation, Azure/Databricks/Snowflake for data engineering, Kubernetes/Docker for orchestration, Tableau/Power BI for dashboards, and GIS/CAD tools for airspace planning. Python and SQL power analytics; Microsoft 365 handles operations.
Active initiatives include real-time airspace dashboards, unmanned traffic management (UTM) implementation, integrated risk management design, airspace master planning, and safety management system strengthening across Belgian and Luxembourg airspace.
