Eyes on the Skies: Managing Air Traffic in Canada

Enter the world of air traffic control, explore the systems, people, and technologies that keep our busy skies safe.

Learn what it takes to manage Canada’s vast air space. From the earliest days of air traffic control to the cutting-edge technologies of today, visitors can discover the stories of industry insiders—past and present—and learn how factors like gender and language have impacted air traffic management in Canada. Engaging videos and visuals break down complex ideas, such as how radar works. Visitors can test their skills through a variety of digital experiences, and consider if they have what it takes to manage air traffic safely.
