Air traffic controller

Air traffic controllers are persons who operate the air traffic control system to expedite and maintain a safe and orderly flow of air traffic and help prevent mid-air collisions. They apply separation rules to keep each aircraft apart from others in their area of responsibility and move all aircraft efficiently through 'their' airspace and on to the next.

Although the media frequently refers to them as "air controllers" no controller ever does. They are called air traffic controllers.
