Entry Point Central

What Entry Point Central does

Entry Point North (formerly Entry Point Central) is a full-service Air Traffic Services (ATS) training academy headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, operating across Europe and Asia. The company delivers a comprehensive portfolio covering Air Traffic Control (ATC) training, Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) training, Flight Information Services (FIS) training, and supplementary services including consultancy, recruitment, and simulator-based training. It serves more than 300 clients from over 65 countries, with a customer base centred on government Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) such as LFV, Naviair, HungaroControl, skeyes, PANSA, Qatar CAA, Aerothai, CAA China, DANS, GACA, and Avinor, alongside CNS providers, military organisations, airlines, and airports.

The company's core technology stack comprises advanced simulator technology for immersive ATC and ATSEP scenario training and a proprietary online learning platform developed in collaboration with instructional designers, enabling remote anytime-anywhere delivery. Training is delivered through three channels: at one of seven company-operated training centres (Sweden, Ireland, Hungary, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, and Asia), on client sites, or via the online platform. The company's stated training philosophy emphasises a personalised approach that develops confidence and professional mindset alongside technical skills, delivered in an international and inclusive environment with diverse staff and student cohorts.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements on a quote-based pricing model tailored to client requirements — no public rate card exists. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting aviation organisations, supported by industry-event participation (IFATCA, ICAO), content marketing, and active social media presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and email. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, no parent company, and no public funding rounds; financial details including revenue, ownership structure, and incorporation specifics are not publicly disclosed. Operating status is active with scheduled events through October 2026.

Direct peers

• ENAV: Italian ANSP providing ATC services and training through its academy. Competes for ATC training mandates in Southern Europe and adjacent markets, with similar ANSP-driven go-to-market dynamics.
• ISAVIA: Icelandic ANSP that operates its own ATC training academy. Comparable niche player in the Nordic/European ATC training market with similar scale constraints.
• Avinor: Norwegian airport operator and ANSP that runs ATC training. Direct competitor in Nordic ATC training and an existing customer of Entry Point North.
• HungaroControl: Hungarian ANSP that hosts one of Entry Point North's partner training centres and operates its own training programs. Functions simultaneously as a partner and a potential competitor in Central European ATC training.
• NATS: UK's primary ANSP, operating NATS College which delivers initial and continuation ATC training. Direct competitor in the European ATC training market and the most established benchmark for ATC training academy scale and quality.
• PANSA: Polish Air Navigation Services Agency that operates ATC training and is also an Entry Point North client. Competes in Central European ATC training market with its own academy.
• skeyes: Belgian ANSP hosting one of Entry Point North's partner training centres and running its own ATC training. Functions as both partner and direct competitor in Benelux ATC training.
• DFS Aviation Services: Subsidiary of Germany's DFS providing ATC, ATSEP, and aviation training services globally. Closest Continental European peer with a comparable multi-service ATS training portfolio and international footprint.

Broad incumbents

• CAE: Global leader in aviation training (primarily pilot training) with growing ATC/ATSEP training offerings. A much larger incumbent that could expand into Entry Point North's core segment through M&A or organic build-out.
• Serco: Large outsourcing group operating air traffic services and training at multiple international airports. Wider portfolio, but competes for the same ANSP training contracts and operates ATC academies in several countries.
