RAFA : Retirement Age for Air traffic controllers
In 2020, the Swiss Federal Council made it a strategic objective to encourage Skyguide (Switzerland’s private air navigation service provider) and social partners (HelvetiCA) to work together to raise the retirement age from the current 56/59 to at least 60. In this context, HelvetiCA and Skyguide agreed to carry out a scientific study to assess the possible impact of this increase in age, in particular on the psychological well-being and cognitive performance of ATCOs. This project was realized by researchers of ENAC, ISAE-SUPAERO and Welbees.
