NextGen Air Transportation System

The NextGen Air Transportation System is a modern overhaul of the way aircraft are guided and managed in U.S. skies. It uses advanced technology like satellite navigation and digital communications to improve safety, efficiency, and environmental impact. NextGen replaces older radar-based systems, enabling more direct flight routes, better traffic management, and reduced delays. This system helps airlines and air traffic controllers coordinate more precisely, allowing for smoother, faster, and safer flights, while also lowering fuel consumption and emissions. Overall, NextGen enhances the capacity and reliability of air travel to meet growing demands.
