A small air traffic control tower sticks out above the white horizon. But this airport actually has two air traffic control centers.
The second one is just a short walk from the airport runway. Inside a ground-floor windowless room there's a display that looks exactly like what you'd see out of an air traffic control tower.
You can see the snowy runway you can see the trees you can even see a car pulling into the airport parking lot.
and it's expensive to keep air traffic controllers there who spend hours with no planes to land.
The day you have one air traffic controller who can control two airports then you have some good benefits according to costs Backman says.
Mikael Henriksson the project manager has been an air traffic controller for 40 years. He says in all his time looking out tower windows there were only three big innovations:
For the air traffic controller this is like airline pilots going from propeller to jet Henriksson says. It's a paradigm shift.
The air traffic controllers could be a few #or a few thousand#miles away in a safe environment because it doesn't matter
