Nancy B. Kalinowski was named Vice President System Operations Services for the Air Traffic Organization in February 2008.

As Vice President of System Operations, Kalinowski is responsible for providing safe, secure, and efficient air traffic services that serve the American people, support the global aviation community, and are environmentally responsible. She is responsible for national traffic flow management, tactical operations, flight services, emergency operations, and aviation security efforts; and providing a focus on performance and analysis and international aviation.

Kalinowski directs the ATO's daily contact with the Department of Defense, the national and individual military command levels and the Department of Homeland Security for all air transportation security issues.
