Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a critical component of modern aviation, ensuring the safety and orderly flow of air traffic within controlled airspace and on the ground at airports. ATC employs a network of highly trained air traffic controllers and advanced technology to coordinate flight paths, manage aircraft separations, and guide pilots through their journeys in both routine and emergency scenarios.

Air Traffic Control (ATC)

Air traffic control is a critical service that manages the safe and orderly flow of aircraft both on the ground and in the airspace, ensuring efficiency and safety in aviation operations. It relies on a complex system of communication, navigation, and surveillance to coordinate flights and prevent collisions, while also handling emergencies and weather-related diversions.

Safety and orderly flow of air traffic

Controlled airspace is a designated area of the sky where air traffic control (ATC) services are provided to manage and separate aircraft safely. It is essential for maintaining an organized flow of air traffic, especially in busy or complex airspace environments, ensuring safety and efficiency in aviation operations.
