Air traffic delays, flight cancellations, pollution, and endless frustrations with travel delays can be fixed through a bill in front of Congress known as the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Bill (FAARB).
This $35 billion dollar bill, which has bipartisan support has been languishing for years, and it has been debated repeatedly with nothing to show for it.
The bill would fund the implementation of Next Generation Air Transport System that would change the current controls from ground based to satellite based, taking advantage of major technological advances in precision GPS technologies.
The benefits include a more streamlined and efficient air traffic control network that would save airlines money by burning less fuel, cut down flight distances and unnecessary bottlenecks, cut pollution substantially and provide safer flying environments with more advanced imagery.
