Air traffic control (aka ATC) tower provides services via ground-based traffic controls of a specified airspace, that direct aircrafts on the ground as well as in the given section of the airspace. The airspace is classified in different sections and each airspace is assigned to a specified ATC tower. The ATC tower is designed for an obstruction free 360 degree view, allowing the ATC operator/controller to have a complete bonafide view of the airfield, allowing them to take quick action in case of any emergency. On that account, ATC console plays a very vital role when airspace is having a large volume of aircrafts moving in different directions either gliding at at a steady speed, climbing or descending. The primary function of ATC (Air Traffic Console) & AOC (Airport Operation Console) is the safety of aircraft as well as passengers travelling. The consoles must support the ATC operations and empowering the controllers to  efficiently direct the aircraft on/off the runways to minimize delays.
