Airports
With many NextGen initiatives already deployed, airports across the country are taking advantage of NextGen capabilities. Here is the progress at 30 Core Airports.
Metroplexes
NextGen is improving traffic flow in metroplexes: metropolitan areas where airports in close proximity make for complex airspace. See how metroplexes work and their expected NextGen benefits.
City Pairs
For airline operators, city-pair performance is the most direct way to connect two markets. View performance metrics for city pairs in metroplexes across the United States.
Across the National Airspace System
NextGen is on track, and the benefits continue to grow from the capabilities and procedures that are enhancing passengers' experience and improving safety. See the impact of NextGen technologies across the country through fuel burn and environment metrics, and access to general aviation airports.
