The new controllers of plateau airports are at the higher risk of acute mountain sickness (AMS) caused by the reduced pressure and hypoxia. The rapid growth of air traffic flow of plateau airports in recent years boosts the increasing number of new air traffic controllers of plateau region. So it has great significance for the improvement of air traffic control (ATC) of plateau airports how to prevent AMS in an effective way. To enhance the ATC efficiency, it is also very important to improve the prevention work for AMS. Firstly, the current operation state of plateau airports is discussed in brief. And the analysis on AMS is conducted to present what AMS is and ascertain the effects of AMS on the new controllers and their work. And the new strategy, an effective way to improve the plateau environment acclimatization of the new members, is proposed in this paper.
