Air traffic controllers are responsible for the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in UK airspace and at airports. Their main duties include giving pilots instructions for take-off and landing, monitoring aircraft positions using radar and radio communication, and ensuring that planes maintain safe distances from each other. The role requires excellent concentration, quick decision-making, and strong communication skills. Air traffic controllers often work in control towers at airports or in area control centres. The job can be demanding, as it involves working shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays, to keep air traffic moving safely at all times.
