This document provides an estimate of the high-level economic value of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and is fully aligned with our updated plans outlined in The Future of the NAS report. The FAA and its partners continue to make significant progress in the modernization of our air traffic infrastructure and transformation of our operation. NextGen improvements in every phase of flight are resulting in more and more benefits to airlines, passengers, the FAA and other users. This report provides the only NAS-wide analysis of benefits and costs of NextGen improvements by combining data from a number of sources, including system-wide modeling, business cases for individual programs, and observed results. To ensure that cost and benefit estimates are current, we analyze them regularly using the most up-to-date values that consider the progressive maturity of the various NextGen programs. |
