The Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, is the FAA-led modernization of America's air transportation system to make flying even safer, more efficient, and predictable.
This is NextGen
NextGen is not one technology, product, or goal. The NextGen portfolio encompasses the planning and implementation of innovative new technologies and airspace procedures after thorough safety testing. Through research, innovation, and collaboration, NextGen sets standards around the world to further establish the FAA's global leadership in aviation.
How NextGen Works
