Ramp control towers could soon be traded for virtual towers where operators in a screen-filled airport room a distance away from the tarmac will be able to direct taxiway traffic.
The virtual towers could also make a lot of sense for smaller airports across the country which often don’t have the space to create new multi-million dollar towers.

United officials said they believe this technology will speed up the landing and takeoff process for passengers. "Any time that we can shave off any little bit of efficiency that we can squeeze out of the operation by enabling the controllers to orchestrate a much more elegant ballet of flowing aircraft in and out of the apron area is it's money and it's a benefit to our passengers," Pfingstler said.
