NATCA is pleased to announce that our Union is joining the Aviation Innovation Coalition (AIC), adding NATCA’s operational expertise to the coalition’s efforts to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS).

The Aviation Innovation Coalition is an industry-led organization bringing together aviation, technology, infrastructure, operations, and policy leaders to support the modernization of the NAS. The group’s mission is to support modernization through collaboration, working groups, and research while also focusing on creating jobs in the United States and the global leadership of the U.S. air traffic control base. NATCA’s inclusion in the AIC will add a critical operational perspective from members who work inside the system every day.

“As the aviation community works to modernize the NAS, the people who operate and maintain the system must have a seat at the table,” said Nick Daniels, NATCA President. “NATCA is pleased to join AIC and contribute the firsthand knowledge of our members, who understand the complexity of the NAS, the realities inside air traffic control facilities, and the workforce challenges that must be addressed for modernization to succeed. We look forward to working with AIC’s members to help ensure that innovation strengthens safety, supports the workforce, and delivers real benefits to the flying public.”

When joining the group, AIC also assigned the Union a Board Liaison seat, ensuring NATCA’s perspective is directly integrated into AIC board-level discussions on aviation infrastructure, operational readiness, and workforce challenges facing the nation’s air traffic control system.
