Trump has proposed to privatize management of the airline

The President of the United States , Donald trump intends to separate air traffic control from the Federal aviation administration (FAA) and transfer it into the hands of a private Corporation to reduce costs and accelerate innovation, reports ABC News.

While air traffic control is exercised by the civil aviation unit of the U.S. Department of transportation, and many have criticized the slow implementation of new digital communications and GPS systems, the system of air. According to critics, it is precisely because of dependence on state funding, that may change, if you give control in the hands of a private Corporation. She will be able to attract new investors.

However, trump is not satisfied everyone. Thus, it is expected that the future Corporation will be controlled by the 13 members of the Board. According to FAA, the majority of seats on the Board will be given to the major airlines.

A small airline and private pilots fear that this will lead to the dominance of the transportation market of major airlines.

What such reforms threaten the passengers? The company believes that Delta Air Lines, such a move could increase the costs of passengers on 20-29%.

«Supporters of this reform argue that privatization will lead to savings for consumers. But there is no evidence of this. And in fact, in countries that privatized management of the airline, the cost of them began to grow rapidly,» — said in Delta Air Lines.
