Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen ATC)

The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen ATC) is a modern overhaul of the U.S. air traffic control system. It uses advanced technology, such as satellite-based navigation and real-time data sharing, to improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of air travel. NextGen allows for more precise routing, reduces delays, and enhances communication between pilots and controllers. By upgrading infrastructure and systems, NextGen helps handle increasing air traffic while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring safer skies for everyone.
