An estimated 12 controllers died by suicide in 2024 out of roughly 10,700 fully trained controllers, according to NATCA president Nick Daniels. That is a rate eight times higher than the national suicide rate of 13.7 per 100,000 people, which is based on provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the two years prior, an estimated total of 12 controllers died by suicide, Daniels said. Those estimates exclude trainees or retired controllers.
The FAA, which tracks suicides based on applications for benefits from relatives of the deceased, is aware of nine controllers who died by suicide between 2022 and 2024, a spokesman said.
Other industries, including construction and mining, also have suicide rates that are higher than the national average, federal data show. Public health researchers said that job strain and long work hours can increase the likelihood of suicidal ideation among workers.
