Air Traffic Controller Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve been working in ATC for several years and know how a clear flow and calm communication keep the skies safer. In my current role I’ve managed peak hour traffic with a workload that routinely includes 40 to 60 aircraft per hour, and I’ve found a steady rhythm using radar and radio calls to keep sequencing precise and predictable. I’m interested in joining [Company Name] because of its commitment to safe, efficient operations and its focus on high standards in airfield coordination. I bring solid skills in radar and ground control, radio phraseology, and pre flight briefings, alongside strong situational awareness and decision making under pressure. I’m comfortable using telecommunication systems for Aeronautical Information Services and I keep strict alignment with airport operations procedures. I’m looking for a role where I can contribute to clear handoffs, accurate taxi guidance, and timely clearances that support a stable flow of traffic. A recent shift stands out: during a mid afternoon peak, a sudden weather rotor reduced visibility and tied up arrivals. I coordinated with tower and ground to re-sequence departures, updated pilots with concise information, and kept the runway occupancy controlled while ensuring safe separation. The result was a 20 per cent reduction in airfield holds over the hour and no safety incidents, a outcome I’m proud of and would bring to [Company Name]. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience and can talk through how my experience aligns with the role at [Company Name]. I’m happy to provide references from [Previous Company] and to demonstrate how I would fit into your team. Kind regards, [Your Name]
