Ground-based air traffic controllers conduct air traffic control (ATC), which directs airplanes on the ground and through controlled airspace. ATC's main goal is to avoid crashes, organize and expedite air traffic flow, and give information and other support to pilots. During takeoff and landing at airports, an air traffic controller directs airplanes to maintain a safe distance from one another on the ground and in the sky. In addition, the controller assists aircraft during inclement weather to ensure minimal delays.

The market for global Air Traffic Control: Drivers
During the projected period, the worldwide air traffic control market is expected to rise due to an increase in the number of flying travelers.
The number of passengers flying by plane has increased as urbanization and disposable income have increased. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) estimates that 4.3 billion passengers flew by plane in 2018, up from 2.9 billion in 2012. According to the same source, airline capacity increased by 4% around the world in 2012. This type of advancement is likely to benefit air traffic control systems.
