Skyguide ensures safety in the coexistence environment of passenger aircraft, military jets, paragliders, hot air balloons and so forth in Switzerland’s densely populated air space. The air traffic control exhibition shows how the country’s air space is managed and profiles some of the careers available at Skyguide. You learn about the challenges of monitoring Switzerland’s air space and keeping it safe: one activity involves having to pilot an aircraft safely through the air space using your own body. The presence of obstacles such as mountains and other aircraft calls for concentration and skill.
