Summary:

U.S. airspace carries by far the largest volume of air traffic in the world--a volume that is expected to rise significantly within the decade. If not managed effectively, this projected growth could affect safety and cause aviation gridlock. The limited window of opportunity to address this situation has prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to undertake efforts to improve its performance and Congress to provide the agency with greater flexibility in procurement and personnel matters. Continuing dissatisfaction with FAA's efforts, however, has led to proposals to overhaul the agency's organizational structure. This testimony (1) highlights the key areas that have hampered FAA's ability to achieve desired outcomes, (2) discusses various proposals for restructuring the agency, and (3) describes the steps that FAA and Congress can take to help the agency address its challenges more effectively and efficiently.
