FAA Flexes Controller Staffing To Handle Recovering Traffic

Share Credit: Chicago Midway International Airport WASHINGTON After organizing controllers into work crews earlier in 2020 to protect against COVID-19 infections, the FAA is allowing more staffing flexibility at its air traffic control (ATC) facilities. FAA Air Traffic Organization COO Teri Bristol said Dec. 9 that recovering air traffic levels and a better understanding of how the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spreads have prompted the agency to “pull back” on the controller teaming concept it introduced this spring at the start of the pandemic. “We started to go to [controller] teams initially so that we could not only preserve personal protective equipment, but also protect people,” Bristol said during the virtual annual meeting of the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA). “Traffic is coming back, so we’ve had to ensure that we can staff facilities.”
