Air traffic controllers are responsible for managing the safe and orderly movement of aircraft in UK airspace and at airports. They coordinate take-offs, landings, and the routeing of planes, ensuring that aircraft remain at safe distances from each other. This role requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work under pressure, and strong problem-solving abilities. Controllers work in control towers at airports, area control centres, or approach control units, using radar and radio communication to direct pilots and coordinate with other controllers. Shift work is common as air traffic control is needed around the clock. Rigorous training and assessments are required, and controllers must maintain high levels of concentration throughout their shifts.
