These meetings, along with other efforts, will help us achieve our goal of zero close calls.” These meetings will involve representatives from the FAA and airports working “to identify unique airport-specific risks and develop plans to mitigate or eliminate them.” These discussions will “include representatives from the FAA air traffic organization, airlines, pilots and airport vehicle drivers.” Major airports hosting the meetings will include DCA, BWI, LAG, DFW, and CLE.
