Washington – The window to apply to be an air traffic controller will be open May 5 – 8, 2023. Candidates interested should go to faa.gov/be-atc to check eligibility, learn if they have what it takes to do the tough job, and gather documents to apply.
Air traffic control is more than a job. It’s a career that offers a benefits package that rivals, if not surpasses, those offered in the private sector – with a variety of insurance, retirement, leave, and flexible spending options for employees and their families.
