We’re supercharging air traffic controller hiring AND offering an incentive for older controllers to stay and help end the ATC shortage for good. No more passing the buck!

The systems being used in air traffic control towers today are in desperate need of an update. The investment from the One Big Beautiful Bill will go a long way toward solving the underlying technology problems and will strengthen the entire system.

I want to echo Congressman Troy E. Nehls’ sentiment on Capitol Hill today. Updating our air traffic control system is a massive challenge, but with the help of Congress and the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we will seize this unique opportunity and make our control towers the envy of the world.
