Partnership to Boost ATC Capacity

A new non-profit group seeks to deliver the economic and environmental benefits of a new, improved air transportation system. The Alliance for Sustainable Air Transportation (ASAT) aims to help accelerate implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in the United States. The organization's co-founder, is Traver Gruen-Kennedy of DayJet. "Air transportation is a key ingredient in global business activity. If we want to drive economic development through aviation in the United States and around the world, our success must come through taking care of the health of our planet, and we must act quickly," said Gruen-Kennedy. "ASAT's work will assist the implementation of NextGen operating efficiencies and environmental benefits for the good of travelers, employees, partners, shareholders and our communities at large. It is our hope that these efforts will be a model for implementing similar partnerships in other parts of the world,” he added.
