TheACC controllers handle traffic across all altitude levels, from lower to upper airspace.

Lower airspace and operations in upper airspace.

Lower airspace is typicallyusually characterisedcharacterized by manyfrequent climbing and descending traffic associated with TMAs. Upper airspace, by contrast, mainly consists of overflights with comparatively fewer climb and descend movements to and from TMAs. Upper airspace, on the other hand, is more known for overflights and a few climb and descenddescent movements.
