On September 18, 2025 members of the ATCA Leadership Council had productive meetings on Capitol Hill with key aviation leaders in both the House and Senate, advocating for critical investments in air traffic control infrastructure and the rapid modernization of our National Airspace System.
Discussions focused on:
✈️ ATCA members' support for the BNATCS plan
✈️ The critical need for significant additional funding to successfully implement the modernized U.S. Air Traffic Control system beyond regular appropriations
✈️ Establishing clear measures across three key areas: Program Portfolio Metrics, Modernization Metrics, and Transformational metrics
We emphasized that successful implementation of the modernized system requires sustained investment and comprehensive measurement frameworks to ensure accountability and track progress effectively.
As the voice of the ATM industry, ATCA's 100+ member companies are ready to support the FAA and Congress in delivering the world-class air traffic management system our nation deserves. Thank you to our Leadership Council members and the Congressional aviation leaders who took time to meet with us. Together, we can ensure safe, efficient skies for the future!
