Oslo Air Traffic Control Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oslo Air Traffic Control Center or Oslo ATCC (Norwegian: Oslo Kontrollsentral) is responsible for the controlled airspace above Eastern Norway. The area control center is located at Røyken, between Oslo and Drammen. The Control Center is owned and operated by the state enterprise aAvinor. Avinor's board has decided to close Oslo ATCC in 2012, transferring its responsibilities to Stavanger ATCC and a planned new terminal control center at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.[1] Oslo ATCC is served by Haukåsen radar and the airport radar at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.

The operation consists of one regular office building above ground. The control center itself where the air traffic controllers work is located in a large subterranean mountain hall well equipped to withstand onslaughts of many kinds. The hall has a great number of work stations that each can control one or more air traffic control sectors.
