Be Challenged

It’s a tough job. Got what it takes?

Controllers collectively handle an average of 45,000 flights a day and, much like rush hour traffic, more than 5,000 aircraft traversing the skies at once during peak times. Focus. Concentration. Attention to detail. Quick decision making. It’s all part of the job.
