FAA: Home. How Air Traffic Control Works" During peak air travel times in the United States, there are about 5,000 airplanes in the sky every hour. This translates to approximately 50,000 aircraft operating in our skies each day. How do these aircraft keep from colliding with each other? How does air traffic move into and out of an airport or across the country? The task of ensuring safe operations of commercial and private aircraft falls on air traffic controllers.
When you think about air traffic control, the image of men and women in the tower of an airport probably comes to mind. Airspace and Air Traffic Control The United States airspace is divided into 21 zones (centers), and each zone is divided into sectors. The air traffic control system, which is run by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has been designed around these airspace divisions.
