Privatisering av ATC i USA på nytt en mulighet - AVweb

U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation Committee, has for several years been promoting legislation that would take 14,000 air traffic controllers and 16,000 other workers away from the FAA and create a separate nonprofit corporation that would be subject to FAA oversight. He told The Washington Post recently that he is working on a new version of the plan that he will introduce this year. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association was supportive of Shuster’s previous proposal, hoping it would create a steadier form of funding, unlike the frequent freezes that FAA is subjected to, but the bill failed to win much support in Congress. NATCA told the Post they will evaluate Shuster’s new proposal before deciding if they will support it.
