Šiauliai Air Traffic Control Centre employs 8 ATCOs. The particularity of work at this centre is determined by the aerodrome for civil and military purposes (for the purposes of the Lithuanian Air Force and the NATO aircraft performing air policing functions). The aerodrome has two runways. The main runway used for civil purposes is 3,500 metres long. 

Šiauliai aerodrome is the only one, where SE Oro navigacija’s air traffic controllers render services to military aircraft. They face a serious challenge of learning special procedures for military air traffic control. Moreover, many of these controllers have recently been students of the Aviation Institute.
