Tactical Fighter Controllers (TFC) are civilian air traffic controllers who work for one of our closest partners, the Swiss Air Force. They are guaranteed an exciting and unpredictable work day.

TFCs monitor and control military air traffic and tactical missions – some of which cross borders – out for the Air Defence and Direction Center (ADDC) in Dübendorf. They also take part in training exercises abroad.

Tactical Fighter Controllers undergo the same training as civil air traffic controllers and receive specialised training after about one year.
