Better yet, With more staff you can handle more traffic.
On a 4 hour rotation you need at least 1 ground controller and 1 arrival / departure controller. If you want to expand beyond a certain size (i.e. multiple runways) you would need more staff

This is comprehensive with good thought discussions. My vote is here.
Letās make it work and get more votes.

Well, thanks to everyone who voted for this suggestion. We gained some 47 votes, which is not that bad. Obviously this suggestion is not big, nor shiny or popular. I have never expected it to get many votes or win. So, thanks again and see you (maybe) in the second round.
EDIT: Too soon isnt it ? I got confused and thought the voting in going to close today. Sorry for the weird post.

Hi, I like the idea of including several instruments and making them required to operate the airport in bad weather conditions, beyond a certain size of simply to provide enough safety measures to get premium/better company contracts.
I just want to chip in with my thoughts on the ATC employees. Afaik, ATC services are not handled by the airport, but rather by a national institution responsible for the safe operation of air traffic (including area control centers etc.). So, instead of hiring the ATC staff directly, the airport should only be responsible for allowing the ATC employees to reach their workplace, and possible add some extra services (staff rooms etc.), as well as maintain relations with the national institution, for example via an upgradable/modifiable contract.

I know this feature has been requested over a year ago, and probably low on the list of priorities, but the concept of a better ATC is really interesting. I know people mentioned (here and in other similar feature suggestions) that ATC isnāt part of managing the Airport, but I would really like to see some basic ground control actions as well - clearing for push back, takeoff, which run way to use, etc. It may add a bit more complexity, and drift away from the simulation of gameplay, but it could be optional for those who want more!
One of the more recent devblogs said that ATC size will affect airfield operations in some way as part of Alpha 34.
Other aspects of ATC could potentially be incorporated into Alpha 36 (eg. ābetter ATCā results in less disruption to operations in the event of an emergency) but thereās nothing specific about any ATC stuff happening as part of Alpha 36

maybe better atc stuff (ils radar etc) could reduce the chance of anything happening when emergancys are added
this does sound cool. something to defiantly add
Ya Iām liking this a ton
Maybe better would be max amount of flights per atc (like 5 for small and 15 for large)

Ok, so a few things have changed. I am not sure if all of the stuff I suggested will just come anyway, but I will still put this topic forward. We already have an ILS tower model in game, so lets just make it actually work.

Iāve been looking forward for an interactive ATC feature since I started playing ACEO. I made a similar request back in the past (Communication Audios & Taxiway Codes), and now the Feature Voting came in, hoping that they can at least take in consideration. Also putted a in-depth explanation in general, but yepā¦ Thumbs up! \o/
