Cleveland Center (ARTCC)

Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZOB) is located at 326 East Lorain Street, Oberlin, Ohio, United States.[1] The center is located about 30 miles outside of the city of Cleveland.[2] The Cleveland ARTCC is the 3rd busiest of the 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers in the United States. It oversees the airspace over portions of Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, as well as the southernmost portion of Ontario, Canada.


The Air Route Traffic Control Center was first planned in 1958. The site was chosen due to Oberlin's location near Cleveland, though far enough away from the metropolis to be safe in case of war. The nearby community of Medina, Ohio was also under consideration, but lobbying by the Oberlin city government brought the center to its present location.
In April 2011, one controller and one manager at the Oberlin center were suspended over allegations that the controller was watching a movie on an early-morning, low-traffic shift.

New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZNY), or New York Center (via radio communications) is one of 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) in the United States.

New York Center was the world's first Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). Collectively, the Center is responsible for air traffic service in 3,270,000 square miles (8,500,000 km2) of controlled airspace, and over the years has remained one of the busiest sectors of airspace in the world.



It is located at 4205 Johnson Avenue on Long Island in Ronkonkoma, a hamlet (unincorporated community) in the Town of Islip, New York, United States, near New York City. Long Island MacArthur Airport is north of the ARTCC.

Their primary responsibility is the separation of overflights, and the expedited sequencing of arrivals and departures along Standard Terminal Arrival Routes and Standard Instrument Departures for the entire New York Metropolitan Area and Philadelphia.
