Air Traffic Controller

At NAV CANADA, our air traffic services teams play a key role in aviation safety, helping people and goods move safely and efficiently across Canada and the globe. Managing 18 million square kilometres of Canadian and oceanic airspace, our air traffic controllers direct planes, either from the cab of a control tower or on a radar screen in an area control centre (ACC), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They work with pilots operating all types of planes, from single-engine aircraft to large multi-engine jets. Our air traffic controllers instruct pilots to climb, turn, descend and move safely, whether they are on the ground at an airport or thousands of feet in the sky. Air traffic controllers ensure aircraft maintain vertical, lateral or time separation, while following strictly defined rules, procedures and regulations.

NAV CANADA is a private, not-for-profit company that operates Canada's civil air navigation service. NAV CANADA provides air traffic control, flight information, weather briefings, aeronautical information services, airport advisory services and electronic aids to navigation.
