Problems highlight how the air traffic control system is undergoing pressure for years, given Continuous employment lack, Old technology and non -investment in critical infrastructure. It is a problem that Duffy pledged to address, especially after the air collision between the American Eagle Flight 5342 and a helicopter in the army on January 29, which left all passengers and crew in aircraft and three employees.

Among their goals, Duffy and Rochelau looks forward to adding three new high -scale communications connections between New York -based stars, which they believe will improve speed, reliability and repetition.

Stars is a FAA system that deals with the New York radar data in New York. The wireless and wireless communication lines feed on this data from New York to Philadelphia Triacon, where controllers are dealing with expatriates and departure in Newark.

Duffy and Rochelau also seeks to replace copper communications with updated fiber technology, which has a larger range and speed, according to FAA.
