Edward L. Bolton Jr. is the Assistant Administrator for NextGen at the Federal Aviation Administration. His office is responsible for leading airspace modernization with the Next Generation Air Transportation System. Mr. Bolton oversees a $1 billion NextGen budget and a staff of more than 900 federal employees. Since arriving at the FAA in the fall of 2013, Mr. Bolton has led a number of important initiatives to ensure the success of NextGen. He oversaw an effort with the NextGen Advisory Committee, a group of key aviation stakeholders, to identify high benefit capabilities that are being delivered in a near-term timeframe, specifying milestones, locations and other metrics. Mr. Bolton has collaborated to ensure that NextGen is now, remaining on track with program execution and benefit delivery for airlines, passengers and other airspace users across the United States. The FAA’s wake recategorization efforts have allowed Delta Airlines to save up to 2 minutes average taxi time on departures, and up to a minute on arrivals in Atlanta, and this improvement is being implemented in 15 other locations. That will amount to between $15 million and $38 million in Atlanta for that carrier alone for one year. Metroplex initiatives to redesign congested airspace are expected to save 3 million gallons of fuel and cut carbon emission by as much as 31,000 metric tons annually in Houston alone, amounting to millions of dollars in airline savings there, with 13 other Metroplexes under way. Airlines in Atlanta saved $20 million in one year alone with a performance-based navigation procedure known as equivalent lateral spacing, with PBN procedures are planned at every major airport, and many smaller ones as well. Mr. Bolton also has engaged other critical stakeholders, including Congress and other oversight bodies, as well as international aviation partners to ensure that NextGen remains on track and is globally harmonized. He established the Interagency Planning Office (IPO), which is focused on planning our airspace from 2025 to 2050, work previously done under the former Joint Planning and Development Office. The IPO works with key agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Commerce on multiagency efforts related to research and development, aviation cybersecurity, weather and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
