'''Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)''' manages the en route phase of air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS) of the United States. Each ARTCC is responsible for controlling aircraft across a broad region, ensuring safe separation and efficient routing of flights at cruising altitudes. | '''Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)''' manages the en route phase of air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS) of the United States.

ARTCCs provide air traffic control services for IFR flights, managing the aircraft from departure to the point where they either land or are handed off to another center or approach control. This includes issuing clearances, providing routing instructions, and ensuring safe aircraft separation at high altitudes< | ARTCCs provide air traffic control services for IFR flights, managing the aircraft from departure to the point where they either land or are handed off to another center or approach control.

The concept of ARTCCs evolved from early air traffic control systems post-World War II, with significant development following the 1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision. This incident led to the establishment of the FAA and a more structured approach to air traffic control, with ARTCCs becoming key components in managing high-altitude en route traffic< | The concept of ARTCCs evolved from early air traffic control systems post-World War II, with significant development following the 1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision.
