Airlines back US air traffic decision

Thursday 31/08/2017 - Source: Breaking Travel News


The Air Transport Association of America has welcomed the awarding of a contract for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast services, the backbone of the Next Generation air traffic control system:


ATA has issued a statement in response to the Federal Aviation Administration announcement:

"ATA and its member airlines applaud the FAA's decision to move forward with deployment of ADS-B. We recognize the critical role this technology will play in creating the NextGen ATC system and look forward to working with the FAA and other industry stakeholders on the earliest possible delivery of its operational, financial and environmental benefits. In particular, we look forward to having the ITT Corporation team apply its expertise in assessing the range of ADS-B benefits and identifying incentives to accelerate user equipage. Now, it is up to Congress to institute a fair funding mechanism that ends the subsidy of corporate jets currently collected from passengers."
