ATCOs are responsible for the safe and expeditious flow of air traffic through our busy skies at Changi and Seletar Airports as well as 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, supports 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.
