The purpose of air traffic control as a process in the air traffic system is to provide safe, proper regulated and smooth management of air traffic. This includes paying due attention to the different requirements of those who use the air traffic system by establishing suitable procedures and rules, but also by providing technical equipment and services. Traditionally, air traffic control services for airspace are conducted by air traffic controllers located in air traffic control centres and those services for the control zone around and moving areas on airports by controllers located in air traffic control towers. During the past years, the number and scope of studies into the physical relocation of the air traffic control services providing by air traffic control towers has increased immensely. The following paper elucidates the motivation behind these studies. It will also describe and offer a qualitative assessment of the conceptual ideas on which the various studies have been based. Continuing and further developing on the previous work already conducted by Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS), it will derive and describe principles for the design of an airport traffic control centre and summarise the initial results of the earlier projects.
