Today the hub and spoke concept is used at most major airports throughout the United States such as Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas. The new system allows air travelers two key concepts in air travel. The first, experienced by those that live in close proximity to the central hub, saw a significant increase in both flights available and service areas. The second key point is with air travelers that live near the spoke or regional areas of the routes. Those near the spokes have gained hundreds of new destinations with the new system. By traveling from the serving airports to the hubs air travelers are able to reach destinations on servicing or regional airlines that would not have existed prior to deregulation.

With the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the 1970s, the FAA recognized that the nation’s airports contributed significantly to the national economy and international commerce, as well as being a critical mode of transport for the public. Airports needed funding to improve safety and maintain airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS, and land acquisition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) formed the National Airport System Plan (NASP) to ensure these significant airports received Federal grants to make these improvements. The FAA revised the NASP with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 and called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) to reflect the further expansion.

The FAA hosted a national UAS Symposium March 27 – 29 in Reston, Virginia, focused on collaboration with industry on UAS technology, cybersecurity and flight authorization approval. The Duetto Group supported Executive Director Flom at the conference through attending breakout sessions, meetings and advocating to industry stakeholders and FAA officials to utilize the advanced abilities of the test site. We introduced Mr. Flom to Paul Bigby, CEO of ConsortiQ, a British company that specializes in training UAS pilots. Mr. Bigby expressed great interest in working with the NPUAS TS and supplying the test site with his company’s software free of charge. We are working with ConsortiQ as the company moves forward to partnering with the NPUAS TS.

Executive Director Flom also regularly provides presentations at the FAA/UAS Test Sites’ Technical Interchange Meetings (TIM). These meetings bring together the leadership from each of the test sites to address challenges and process on the technological developments for UAS and its integration.
