The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made significant progress in addressing the nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers. Over 1,800 air traffic controllers have been hired in 2024, surpassing the FAA's hiring goals for the year. This effort comes as the agency aims to mitigate the shortage ahead of the busy holiday travel season. The FAA is looking to hire an additional 3,000 air traffic controllers, focusing on candidates who can think several steps ahead and remain calm under pressure. This initiative is seen as a positive development for travelers across the country, including those in New Jersey. Reports by Tim McNicholas and Tom Costello highlight the ongoing recruitment efforts.
