GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS AND VIDEO - A concern in the South African aviation industry at the moment is a need for young adults to be trained as air traffic controllers.
A lot of our qualified ATC staff have been lured to Australia and New Zealand recently to take up positions, and historically, the Middle East has also taken many qualified controllers from our shores.
Do you have the ability to work and stay calm under extreme stress? Do you have a love for flying, or a passion to be involved in aviation? Then possibly a career as an air traffic controller is for you!
Air traffic controllers maintain the safe, orderly, and efficient flow of air traffic, monitoring the movement of aircraft along major air routes and around airports by giving pilots instructions and advice as to height, speed and course.
