Last Thursday, literally two hours before I flew to Kentucky from the Tulsa International Airport I was honored to participate and celebrate a significant milestone for Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma. We had the groundbreaking ceremony for Tulsa's new Senator James M. Inhofe Air Traffic Control Tower Complex, the airport’s largest infrastructure project in its history. The new air traffic control tower complex will replace TUL’s existing air traffic control tower and base building (ATCT), which was commissioned in 1957 and opened in 1961, making it one of the oldest towers within the FAA’s air traffic organization. The new facility will provide reliable infrastructure needed for the safe operation of air traffic within TUL’s approach and local control areas and will allow the facility to expand their services beyond their existing capabilities. The new ATCT is set to stand at 257’ feet, over 100’ taller than the current tower. The increased height will improve visibility and allow the airport to develop additional property on its land. This landmark project will be made possible through a partnership between the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and local, state and county government. The coalition marks a major investment in the future of aviation safety and efficiency in the region. Kudos to Alexis Higgins, CEO, Tulsa Airport Improvement Trust and her team with support from national, state and local partners for bringing this project to fruition. “I am grateful for the support of every level of government in making our new air traffic control tower possible: federal, state, county, and city,” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said. “To break ground on this new tower secures our future as a regional aviation hub and sends an important message to the aerospace industry that Tulsa is open for business.” Project Timeline: Construction September 2024 – October 2026 FAA Equipment Installation – Winter 2026 Acceptance and Operational Start – Spring 2027 Estimated Project Costs Engineering Design: $4,615,402 Construction and Project Administration: $81,514,000 FAA Equipment and Services: $26,483,198 Total Projected Cost: $112,612,600 #Tulsa #TulsaInternationalAirport #Oklahoma #aerospace #aviation

CANSO Director General, Simon Hocquard is at the second Asia Pacific Civil Aviation Ministerial Conference is in #NewDelhi this week where he addressed the audience on the issue of future #investments and #collaboration. As he explains: “Air Navigation Service Providers (#ANSPs) have to invest in key elements such as replacing out of date equipment, innovative new systems to enable ANSPs to contend with future air traffic growth, and resources. If we do not invest enough today in this vital infrastructure, we may find ourselves with a significant capacity crunch in the future[...] The cost of a lack of capacity is much greater than the cost of the necessary investment.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/esBGWyev #AsiaPacific #APAC #CivilAviation #conference #MinisterialConference #keynote #speech #airtrafficmanagement

My latest (and first big report) for The Air Current, where I take a closer look at the power dynamics and uncertainties surrounding airport funding in the context of this year's already-extended FAA reauthorization cycle. #staycurrent

In major cities, Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) can mean a faster, cheaper, cleaner way of delivering goods, getting around and providing emergency services, which is why the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is considering how to implement AAM in its public transportation plans. Together with VHB, Hovecon, SutaResearch&Analytics and TTGEnvironmental&Associates, we’re forming a regional AAM implementation strategy for the San Diego Association of Governments.

This paper develops a regional strategic travel model system to predict expected changes in traffic volumes and public transport patronage up to 2056!! 💥💥💥 #thoughtprovoking #travelmodel #transport

Reimagining mobility - safe and efficient movement of people and goods using electric aircrafts (its kinda like flying electric cars) Of course, complying with governmental policies and airspace regulations are crucial. Future is Now! #innovation #qualityoflife #safety #Technology

A better railway for a better Britain… “2019 - 2024 will mark a turning point for Britain’s railway with the end of major analogue re-signalling. We will be accelerating the transition to a digital railway, so we can unlock the benefits of digital signalling and help meet the capacity challenge of the future. Digital signalling is the future that this plan ushers in.” @networkrail https://lnkd.in/efCx-WPH #networkrail #railway #vending
