What does the President of the United
States say about NextGen?

"i hear the government contracted for a system
that's the wrong system," Trump told the White
House gathering of airline and airport executives. "I
hear we're spending billions and billions of dollars.
It's a system that's totally out of whack. It's way over
budget. It's way behind schedule. And when it's
complete, it's not going to be a good system. Other
than that, it's fantastic."

What does the President of the United
States say about NextGen?
"The FAA is spending billions to implement "NextGen," a
system that would utilize satellites to monitor aircraft
instead of radar and make other changes and has faced
implementation challenges. The FAA said it has spent $7.5
billion on NextGen over the past seven years, which "has
resulted in $2.7 billion in benefits to passengers and the
airlines to date, and is expected to yield more than $160
billion in benefits through 2030."Last month, Trump
criticized spending on NextGen, saying the system was
"totally out of whack," over budget and behind schedule."

What does the President of the United
States say about NextGen?
"President Donald Trump is proposing to shift oversight of the U.S. air
traffic control from the federal government to an independent group...
Trump, who called the U.S. air traffic control system "obsolete" in a
meeting with airline executives last month, is proposing $16.2 billion for
the Department of Transportation's discretionary budget for fiscal year
2018, a reduction of 13 percent.
The document says Trump's plan "initiates a multi-year reauthorization
proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal Aviation
Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization."
