Occupation: air traffic controller – Hundreds of pilots listen to this woman every day

Date:

A paycheck to take home and a healthy work-life balance versus responsibility for thousands of lives. Alexandra Holzinger tells the ‘Krone’ in an interview what it takes to become an air traffic controller and how much artificial intelligence air traffic control can tolerate.

The tallest flight control tower in Europe is located at Vienna-Schwechat Airport. With a height of 109 meters, the tower is also the landmark of the airport. Air traffic controllers who work here for the Austrian air traffic control Austro Control must not only be afraid of heights, but also be a team player, responsible and resilient. They specify the flight path and altitude, grant permission to take off and authorize the landing. This makes them – next to the pilot himself – the most important active safety factor in aviation.
