FAA to ‘supercharge’ air traffic controller hiring

  • The Federal Aviation Administration launched a new application portal to recruit nearly 9,000 air traffic controllers by the end of 2028, aiming to fill 226 positions at New York TRACON over the next three years.
  • New York TRACON is missing at least 100 Certified Professional Controllers, and applicants can receive bonuses of up to $10,000 for training and placement in high cost-of-living areas.
  • More than 1,000 candidates have applied this year for the FAA Academy to fill academy classrooms while addressing a significant administrative backlog.
  • Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that the current administration has made more progress on the air traffic controller shortage in 100 days than the previous one did in four years.
