The head of the nation’s air traffic controllers says there have been too many near collisions at airports
The head of the nation’s air traffic controllers said there have been too many near collisions at airports and laid out steps to avoid more – including more supervisor oversight in control towers and extra controller training for “unusual circumstances.
” “We think that the uptick is partly related to the especially fast surge in demand and the swift return to the skies – faster than even the most optimistic scenarios that we heard even a couple of years ago,” Buttigieg said. “We need to make sure of course that as that system comes back to that high level of demand there is no negative safety impact to that.” Despite the recent close calls at airports, flying remains an incredibly safe mode of travel.
