The FAA currently has 542 facilities and the first planned consolidation in the New York-New Jersey-Philadelphia region is delayed until May 2013, said David Grizzle, chief operating officer of the NextGen program, David Perera reported.
Grizzle testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee on aviation Thursday.
Lou Dixon, the Transportation Department’s principal assistant inspector general, told lawmakers that the recent FAA authorization bill does not provide sufficient funding for the planned consolidations.
