San Carlos Airport in Silicon Valley will cease having air traffic controllers due to recent FAA contract adjustments that resulted in resignations over compensation issues. The airport's request for temporary staffing by the FAA was denied, leaving it to seek alternatives for air traffic control. San Carlos is home to over 25 aviation businesses and 500 aircraft. As safety concerns rise, especially following a recent crash involving a military helicopter and a commercial jet, the airport is working with local officials to reinstate control tower operations.
The San Carlos Airport will no longer have air traffic controllers due to FAA contract changes leading to resigned controllers. The airport seeks new staffing solutions.
Airport manager Gretchen Kelly emphasized that the airport is exploring options for staffing and working with Congressman Mullin to ensure air traffic services.
