Airspace Management Program
One of the goals of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is to enhance aviation system efficiency while ensuring safety. The Airspace Management Program is a multi-year initiative to review, redesign, and restructure the nation’s airspace to meet the rapidly changing and increasing operational demands on the National Airspace System (NAS). The Airspace Management Program staff is working with NAS users and service providers, using available airspace, facilities and equipment, and calculating future use of these resources to improve efficiency and reduce delays. The FAA is continuing to make progress in its efforts to redesign national airspace. The Airspace Management Program is doing so by restructuring existing domestic and oceanic airspace. A number of initiatives have already been completed and significant positive results have been reported.
