What does OACC precisely control?

The Open Airspace Control Center (OACC) primarily focuses on air traffic management over the Atlantic Ocean. This role involves regulating the flow of air traffic in an expansive and often busy airspace, ensuring that aircraft can navigate safely and efficiently across this significant area. OACC’s responsibilities include coordinating with various air traffic service providers, managing flight information, and ensuring that safety regulations are observed throughout this oceanic airspace.

While it's true that other air traffic control entities manage various sectors of airspace, including military and regional air traffic, the OACC specifically handles operations over the Atlantic. This makes it a unique entity in the structure of air traffic management, as it addresses the complexities and challenges associated with transatlantic flights, which often involve multiple countries' airspace regulations and coordination efforts.
