MODERNIZING OUR SKIES The air traffic control tower at @SyracuseAirport is getting a brand new simulator to cut air traffic control controller training time by 30% … and that puts the controllers in the towers much sooner! For you that means flying in and out of here is getting faster and safer ✈️

The FAA's Associate Administrator for Airports, Chris Kelly, joined leaders from the @DFWairport to officially open the Southwest End-Around Taxiway. End-around taxiways give planes a continuous path around to eliminate the need to cross an active runway when landing or taking off, preventing runway incursions. Safety is the FAA’s non-negotiable priority, and this piece of infrastructure is showing that we can maximize safety and efficiency at the same time. ✈️
