DOT OIG: There are Significant Differences Between FAA and Foreign Countries’ Processes for Operating Air Navigation Systems

Pursuit's Take

The four countries DOT OIG examined—Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France—have separated their air traffic control functions from their safety oversight and regulatory functions. While safety and regulatory functions remain government-controlled, each nation has commercialized its air traffic control function into an ANSP using various organizational structures.

No recommendations were made by the OIG, but challenges the FAA to rethink their organization.
