A New Year for ATC

摘要

We can all attest to the fact that 2013 was a difficult year for the U.S. and the aviation and air traffic industry from a government funding perspective. We saw sequestration, furloughs, government shutdown, the threat of air traffic control tower closings, and a general fear of spending. The start of 2014 looks a lot brighter, at least from a funding perspective. Sequestration will be leveled for the year, avoiding additional cuts. The Omnibus Spending Bill passed both the House and Senate, becoming law on January 17, 2014.
