JetBlue CEO urges President-elect Trump to revamp air traffic control system

written by December 17, 2024

Investing.com — JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) Corp. CEO Joanna Geraghty has urged President-elect Donald Trump to strengthen the country’s air traffic control system. She addressed the issue during a television interview on Tuesday, stating that the system’s inadequate staffing and outdated technology have been significant burdens for JetBlue and other airlines.

Geraghty pointed out that the nation is severely lacking in air traffic controllers. She emphasized the need for a more robust air traffic system. Airlines with substantial operations in the New York area, including JetBlue, have been especially affected by these shortages.

The hiring and training of air traffic controllers were halted during the pandemic, leading to a shortfall. This, coupled with retirements, has put a strain on the aviation system. However, the Federal Aviation Administration managed to hire 1,811 controllers this year, marking the highest number in almost ten years.

Geraghty expressed her desire for increased hiring, updated technology, and a reduction in delays caused by air traffic control. She also mentioned that she has not yet met with members of the incoming administration.
