Air Traffic Management Personnel oversee the varying aspects of an aircraft's journey to ensure that the flight remains safe and on time. These Aviation Professionals are usually dynamic and technical workers who may have to use high-tech communication equipment to liaise with pilots.
The role of Air Traffic Management
Typical tasks could include informing the relevant parties of weather conditions, managing the movement of numerous aircraft or leading / working within a team of other area, approach or aerodrome controllers. Due to the niche skills required of Air Traffic Management Staff, specialist Aviation recruitment agencies are required to source the most suitably qualified candidates for their clients.

Recent graduates and new entrants into the industry can expect to start on £14K+ although with the completion of training this can soon rise to £20K. Years of experience can eventually lead to a senior post and the potential to earn a salary of £100K+. Large control centres and airports such as Heathrow usually offer the highest salaries although private Control companies can also pay highly.
Qualifications and attitude

After finishing the course, further training will be provided by employers and it can take around three years in total to become fully qualified.
