The Gazette (Colorado Springs): Feds delay new radar, union says
Tuesday, November 01, 2005
"Federal officials have delayed installing a new type of radar at the Colorado Springs Airport, a union representing air traffic controllers alleged Monday. The radar would alert controllers when aircraft are on taxiways and runways when they shouldn't be, Tim Davis, an air traffic controller at the Springs airport control tower and representative of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said at a news conference at Antlers Hilton hotel...The union also is worried that the FAA, which operates the control tower, eventually will move air traffic control responsibility for aircraft near the Springs airport to a consolidated center in Denver, which would reduce the need for local controllers...'Put all of these facts together, and I come to the conclusion that (the federal) government is just not concerned with the airport in Colorado Springs. The market is just not large enough to warrant' the current air traffic control operation, Davis said."
