There are lots of traffic signs on the roads. They tell you what you can do and where you can go. However, there are no traffic signs in the sky. So how is traffic directed in the sky?
Airplane traffic in the air is guided by the air traffic control (ATC) system. Air traffic controllers work at airports and in ATC towers all over the world. They oversee the safe operation of all aircraft.
Air traffic controllers’ job includes helping pilots take off and land safely. They help pilots navigate carefully around bad weather. Air traffic controllers also organize the paths of thousands of flights. They make sure that traffic flows smoothly and airplanes don’t get too close to each other. Moreover, a huge amount of planning is made before the flights take off. With careful pre-flight planning and monitoring by air traffic controllers during flight, most flights land safely without any problems.
