The Department of Transportation is implementing new strategies to address the long-standing staffing shortage of air traffic controllers in the United States. The initiative includes a revamped hiring process and increased salaries to attract more individuals to pursue careers in air traffic control.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy visited the Federal Aviation Administration’s Academy at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City to discuss the new hiring approach. The hiring window opened on Thursday and will remain active until March 17.
