The FAA plans to hire over 11,700 new air traffic controllers through Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 to replace the large number of controllers that were hired after the air traffic controller strike of 1981 and are now eligible to retire. In addition to the training required for these new controllers, FAA also provides recurrent training to active air traffic control specialists. CTC will serve as the main vehicle for all training and training support services necessary at all types and levels of ATC facilities. This enterprise-wide contract will enable FAA and the Safety and Technical Training Organization (AJI) to meet its responsibility to train controllers for duty in the National Airspace System (NAS) and will help the organization to mitigate impacts to the NAS resulting from controller shortages, which is a key component of the FAA ™s near and long-term strategic planning.
