As Congress debates reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, the issue of whether and how to reform our air traffic control system is at an impasse. The U.S. air traffic control system still runs on decades-old technology yet efforts to update it have limped forward. While travel delays and safety concerns are mounting, structural and funding issues as well as varied stakeholder interests are all impacting steps toward modernization.

USA TODAY transportation reporter Bart Jansen moderated a panel discussion on this critical issue. Panelists examined the status of our air traffic control system, the need for reform, and options for progress.
