Abstract:
We have an immensely diverse group of airspace users with different interests that must be reconciled. They are linked by a common desire to make our airspace, which is the largest, safest, and most diverse in the world, even safer, more efficient, and with growing access. What are the views of key stakeholders – both traditional and new operators -- on the priorities, initiatives, and resources needed to further enhance and modernize the system over the next decade? The moderator will engage a broad spectrum of airspace users in a strategic dialogue focused on US aviation leadership as well as operational excellence.
