Denver International Airport’s aviation manager says the airport is one of a handful in the country beginning to work with technology to switch from a radar-based system of tracking planes to a more precise satellite system.
Kim Day told state lawmakers in a briefing Tuesday that the new system will allow airplanes to fly closer safely and will increase traffic capacity.
Although Day said it could be as long as 20 years before the Federal Aviation Administration fully implements the redesign, she added that DIA could have a “real robust system” in place in five or six years.
