“These are challenging times, but challenges provide opportunities..”
As the government shutdown continues, the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA)’s 58th Annual (www.atca.org/58annual) remains open for business and will provide industry leaders and stakeholders with the tools they need to shape the future of ATC and aviation. The Conference and Exposition – the largest air traffic control event in the Americas – will move forward October 20 – 23.
“These are challenging times, but challenges provide opportunities,” said Peter F. Dumont, President and CEO of ATCA. “ATCA’s been delivering a place for the air traffic community to come together for 58 years, and there is no better time than now to do that. We will continue to deliver a top quality conference and exhibition to our members and serve an industry that doesn’t shut down.”
With constant growth and debate on the National Airspace System (NAS), dialogue and panelists at ATCA will focus on how to tangibly achieve future aviation goals. Conference programming includes sequestration and its impact on aviation, ATC corporatization, and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
