Approach Control
Approach control refers to a control station in an air operations control center, helicopter direction center, or carrier air traffic control center, that is responsible for controlling air traffic as it transitions from control by an en-route control center and enters a terminal area. Approach control will normally hand off to a final control authority prior to landing, usually to an airport's control tower.
