Bolen: Bizav Access to Airspace, Airports Under Threat
Bolen fears ATC privatization would cede control of airspace and airport access to the airlines, limiting business aviation's access.
A U.S. bill that aims to privatize air traffic control would inevitably cede control of airspace and airport access to the airlines, with the likely result limiting business aviation's access, said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. He is urging the business aviation industry to use NBAA's Contact Congress page, shown here on his smartphone, to tell their U.S. representatives that they oppose ATC privatization.
