ResumoA movement is under way to privatize the U.S. air traffic control (ATC) system, the largest department within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A study of this issue -- currently in the debate stage and receiving high visibility in the press -- affords a unique opportunity to examine the forces and events leading to the formation of a public-private partnership, as they unfold, at the federal level. This article examines a number of issues surrounding the privatization of ATC: Deficiencies of the existing ATC system (technology, procurement policies, congressional control, bureaucratic management, safety); Privatization Precedents: the experience of other countries (New Zealand); the FAA Plan for Privatization (funding, the General Aviation Case, Key Points of the USATS Proposal); Political Factors.
