Seal The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced yesterday that the North Metroplex project has been successfully put into place, promising more efficiency in the U.S. . This project is a "new air-traffic system that will deliver more on-time flights for passengers while reducing pollution by thousands of metric tons each year," said Aviation Media reporter Mary-Anne Baldwin. NextGen is a system the FAA claims would allow aircraft to fly shorter routes, save up to 4.1 million gallons of fuel each year and cut carbon emissions by about 41, 000 metric tons. It uses -based technology as opposed to older ground-radar-based technology to allow to pinpoint aircraft with greater precision and give pilots more accurate information . To date, the North Texas Metroplex NextGen Project took three years, cost about $6 million and is amongst the largest in the country. A similar project has been underway in since May and more projects are proposed in major cities such as ; , ; and , . North Texas is one of the 13 large multi-airport urban areas where air operations can be inefficient because of air traffic congestion and environmental concerns. These initiatives are very expensive to create and the deadline to have the entire NextGen system finished — originally to be by the year 2020 — is approaching, but FAA Administrator Michael Huerta expressed hope this Metroplex system would go into place at airports around the country. “The result is a solution that not only benefits the National Airspace System, it benefits the aviation industry, the environment and the traveling public," he said .
