In the tower and in approach control of regional civil airports and aerodromes, our air traffic controllers monitor and manage arriving and departing aircraft, and coordinate takeoffs, landings and ground movements.
Skyguide counts seven civil regional airports: Bern, Buochs, Grenchen, Lugano Agno and St. Gallen Altenrhein, as well as Locarno and Sion where the air traffic is both civil and military.
A high variety of traffic is characteristic for regional air traffic control: Commercial flights mingle with small tourism aircraft, helicopters, gliders, etc. This variety requires special concentration from our regional air traffic controllers.
