The Department of Transportation (DOT) has selected Peraton to oversee a comprehensive reform of the U.S. air traffic control system. As part of this effort, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has emphasized the importance of modernization over privatization, a debate that has gained traction among major airlines like American Airlines, Delta, United, and Southwest. While some industry experts advocate for privatization as a necessary evolution, others argue for a focus on modernizing existing infrastructure to maintain aviation leadership. The upcoming changes are expected to transform the operational dynamics of airlines and airports and enhance overall air travel safety.
