The crisis in U.S. air safety has escalated due to insufficient staffing at air-traffic-control towers and outdated technology. The FAA, which used to be a model of safety, is now deteriorating after years of neglect. Despite clear warnings from various stakeholders, administrations have mostly overlooked the issues, resulting in a concerning trend of near misses and even a collision, prompting urgent calls for reform to prevent catastrophe in air travel.
"The U.S. air-travel system has recently been beset with near misses and, in one horrifying case, a collision, showcasing an urgent need for reform."
"Regulators, pilots, controllers, airline executives, and outside observers all warned for years that the system was falling behind and running on outdated technology."
