What is a Flight Service Specialist?
Flight Service Specialists work in three different aspects of Air Traffic Service, but all can be summed up in two words that are the guiding force of our career: Aviation Safety.
If you are looking for an adventure in a well-paid profession, with good benefits and pension, work along side a great bunch of people, and have a chance to provide a invaluable service to the flying public, being a Flight Service Specialist is the career for you.
