FAA Is Making Air Traffic Control Procedures

At New Orleans International Airport

More Efficient


Problems in air traffic control procedures and
airspace allocations at the New Orleans Inter-
national Airport result in increased coordin-
ation and workload for the air traffic control-
lers, according to the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration's southwest region. In GAO's opin-
ion, labor relations between the control tower's
management and the air traffic controllers are
poor.

FAA is making changes, scheduled to be effec-
tive by March 15, 1981, to improve air traffic
control efficiency in the New Orleans area.
FAA southwest region officials have also a-
greed to thoroughly review the labor relations
situation and take whatever corrective actions
are necessary.
