Corporate Aviation Clogging Up The Air Traffic Control System

[rsmith6621]

And they are not paying their fair share......what a surprise.

Today’s antiquated Air Traffic Control system must be modernized to meet the demands of the future. Though the United States' ATC system has served us well by delivering a stellar safety record, it has become prone to chronic delays as FAA slows or reroutes traffic to ensure safety. Learn more about the solutions to this ATC dilemma.

It isn't 1970 anymore. At that time, there were few airplanes besides airlines plying America's high-altitude airways, and virtually all travelers used the nation's airlines to fly around the country.

Though the ATC system remains stuck in the analog era of the 1970s, aircraft technology has evolved substantially; giving rise to new methods of transportation. The birth of the business jet in 1964 opened an untapped market for private and corporate aviation, using airplanes that delivered airline-like speed, safety and effeciency. The number of private jet aircraft in the United States has grown from roughly 1,800 aircraft in 1970 to 18,000 aircraft in 2007.
