SIC Code 4581-09 - Air Traffic Control Tower

Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) are facilities located at airports that are responsible for managing the movement of aircraft on the ground and in the air. The primary function of an ATCT is to ensure the safety of aircraft, passengers, and crew by providing air traffic control services. This involves monitoring and directing the movement of aircraft, providing pilots with information about weather conditions and other potential hazards, and coordinating with other air traffic control facilities to ensure the safe and efficient flow of air traffic. ATCTs are staffed by air traffic controllers who are responsible for managing the movement of aircraft. These controllers use a range of tools and technologies to monitor and direct aircraft, including radar systems, computer systems, and communication equipment. They work closely with pilots to provide guidance and ensure that aircraft are following established flight paths and procedures. The work of an air traffic controller is highly demanding and requires a great deal of skill and training. Controllers must be able to work under pressure and make quick decisions in order to ensure the safety of aircraft and passengers. They must also be able to communicate effectively with pilots and other air traffic control facilities in order to coordinate the movement of aircraft.
