The Austrian air traffic control Austro Control is again looking for people who are interested in training to become air traffic controllers. An information day will be held on October 7, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 00 p.m.

At Schnirchgasse 7, 1030 Vienna, interested people can find out about training and employment opportunities on site. What tasks do air traffic controllers have, how does the selection process and training work, how large do the safety distances between aircraft have to be, how does a radar work, who gives take-off or landing clearance and how much do you earn? Air traffic controllers answer all of these questions and many more personally, live and on site in the Austro Control visitor center. Guided tours of the 360° tower simulator from Austro Control provide a fascinating insight into the practical training.

Tower simulator tours are also offered. Pre-registration is required for this www.startfrei.at necessary. We are looking for young people of the ideal age between 17 and 26 with a high school diploma who enjoy working in a team and are stress-resistant. The prerequisite for admission is passing a multi-stage selection process with a final assessment center and a positive aviation medical check.

The training lasts around three years and takes place at the Austro Control training center in Vienna. Austro Control takes on up to 40 trainees per year. Applications are possible at any time: www.startfrei.at
