WEEKLY UPDATE FROM FAA ATO COO TERI BRISTOL
Collaboration Builds NextGen Success
Hi everyone.
I attended the NextGen Advisory Council (NAC) meeting last week in Chicago. This
meeting was bittersweet for me , in that it was the final meeting for FAA Administrator
Michael Huerta and Jim Eck, our Assistant Administrator for NextGen.
The NAC provides steady leadership and guidance on NextGen. And while the faces at
the table may change over time, progress will continue unabated on reaching our shared
goals.
For the ATO, this means we will continue to develop, implement and deploy NextGen
advancements across the NAS in support of our newest shared NAC priority: addressing
delays and increasing efficiency in the Northeast Corridor (NEC). Since the last NAC
meeting in June, we've been working with NAC Subcommittee members to identify and
target tangible improvements that we can com mit to address over the next 18 months.
It's important to note that these are shared commitments from the FAA, airline industry,
and airports to address key issues that impact the efficiency of the NEC operational
