Delphi study identifies effective strategies to mitigate fatigue in air traffic controllers, highlighting safety concerns.
Introduction: Air traffic controllers (ATCOs) play a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of air travel. However, their work is often characterized by high levels of stress, long hours, and irregular schedules, which can lead to fatigue. Research has shown that fatigue can affect ATCOs' ability to concentrate, make decisions, and communicate effectively, increasing the risk of errors and accidents. Effective fatigue prevention and mitigation is therefore essential. From scientific literature however, little evidence is available.
