New Report Uncovers Nashville’s Alarming Safety Risks Due To Ongoing ATC Shortage

Experts have continued to warn that the safety risks are exceptionally high, especially amid record traffic. On August 16, controllers had to order an American Airlines flight to go around after a runway incursion risk was identified, and this is just the latest in a long list of high-profile near-misses.
