Weather affects the work of air traffic controllers, however, for staff scheduling in Remote Tower Centers (RTCs) it has not been taken into account. We study the impact of various weather phenomena on air traffic controller (ATCO) taskload through structured interviews with ATCOs. We deduce...

This study examines the impact of corporate governance on airline safety. Using data from seventy countries during the period 1990 to 2016, we observe a negative relationship between indicators of quality of corporate governance and the accident rate of an airline. Specifically, our results...

The SESAR research and innovation programme is designed as an innovation pipeline, made up of exploratory research, industrial research and validation and very large-scale demonstrations/demonstrators, where ideas are transformed into tangible solutions. The research takes place across 70...

The safety of the commercial airline industry has attracted considerable public attention and debate since economic deregulation of the industry in 1978. These concerns have energized economic research on three aspects of airline safety. First, has the level of airline safety declined since...

"In the latest volume for the Landmark Presidential Decisions series, Andrew Busch focuses on the decision by Ronald Reagan in August 1981 to fire striking members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Association (PATCO) at the nation's airports in response to the decision by the 12,000...

The object of research is the professional activity of an air traffic controller of the airport traffic control tower (henceforth Tower controller). The subject of research is the regularities revealing in this specialist activity in the performance of its work responsibility for the trainee...
