What is the difference between ATCOs and Air Traffic Control Support Officers (ATCSOs)?
ATCOs are responsible for the safe and expeditious flow of air traffic through our busy skies at Changi, Seletar Airports and our airspace. As an ATCO, you must be able to multitask, remain composed under pressure and possess strong communication skills. Operational ATCOs need to hold a valid ATC License to perform the job.
ATCSOs, on the other hand, support the ATCOs in ensuring the safe and efficient flow of air traffic at Changi Airport and in the Singapore Flight Information Region (FIR). ATCSOs execute air traffic control coordination on aircraft requests and clearances, as well as analyse and communicate aeronautical and meteorological information to pilots. Proficiency Level training will be provided.
