With Air Traffic Controllers becoming increasingly unhappy with their jobs something must be done to keep them in the business. Along with pay increases ATC's at Dulles will have a new tower to perform their jobs from making them a little more comfortable. This facelift not only makes Dulles' ATC's more willing to come to work, but brings some new equipment to the airport. For a complete list of equiptment click here.
This $67.3 million renovation will pay for a brand new tower and the new equiptment to prepare Dulles for the next generation in aviation. Dulles handles roughly 1200 flights per day and is in great need of this new equiptment. Dulles is one of the bussiest airports in the United States, but is less sophisticated than some of its counterparts such as LAX because this will be its first renovation since the airport was built in 1962.
The renovation really is a much needed one that should aid one of our nations bussiest airports with the masses of flights that pass through it everyday. This renovation will make the jobs of the ATC's and the pilots much easier. Hopefully this will also speed things up at the gate. Ideally this renovation will prepare Dulles for the next 45 years in aviation.
