Specially designed windows, dark glass glazing, a double reinforced concrete structure in the walls plus sound-absorbing floors, ceilings and walls ensure that neither light nor sound from the outside will distract the air traffic controllers in their work of monitoring traffic in the air.

The new control center will provide optimal working conditions for the air traffic controllers. There are more than 60 positions specially designed for the task which are installed symmetrically in two large U-shapes. This provides a pleasant working environment without any visual “noise” from the equipment.

However, beneath the large floor panels, made of American cherry wood, there is an unseen world of cables that continually provide the equipment at the work positions with the data that the air traffic controllers need. The floor panels can be removed at any time in connection with repairs and maintenance, which provides great flexibility for the Naviair technicians.
