Four-Year FAA Funding Bill Accelerates NextGenFor about five years, the FAA has limped along with 23 short-term funding appropriations from Congress, but on Tuesday, congressional leaders said they have reached agreement on a four-year, $63 billion funding bill. The legislation has not yet been released, but according to USA Today, the funding will accelerate the creation of the NextGen (Next Generation Air Transportation System) air traffic control system. A new post will be created ? the Chief NextGen Officer ? to oversee the effort, and a schedule for progress will be set.
