A job that makes a difference

---

The most visible part of aviation in New Zealand are the aircraft flying around our skies. For the most part, these aircraft are controlled by Air Traffic Controllers (ATC's) working in towers around the country and the radar centre (Christchurch), although airspace in NZ is made up of both controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
