200 new recruited ATCOs to join next month

New Delhi: Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs), manning the vast 2.8-million sq nautical mile airspace, which extends from Kuala Lumpur and Yangon in the east to Pakistan and Muscat in the west, are going to be less-burdened with some 200 new personnel joining the rank from next month.

These 200 ATCOs are in the final leg of their training and expected to join duties from March, a senior Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said today.

The induction of these ATC personnel is part of the AAI plans to induct 600 ATCOs by this fiscal to meet the shortage of manpower in critical areas such as air traffic management, he said.
