U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced a new plan to supercharge the hiring of air traffic controllers.
This announcement followed a tour of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Academy at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. During the tour, Secretary Duffy met with FAA officials and academy students to highlight air traffic controllers’ critical role in keeping travelers safe.
The new supercharged air traffic controller hiring opportunity will bring more of America’s best and brightest into the aviation safety community. Officials said it also aligns with President Donald Trump’s priorities for keeping Americans safe in aviation.
The FAA is opening its hiring window to become an air traffic controller from Thursday, Feb. 27-March 17.
