This year’s FAA reauthorization includes provisions which expand and protect the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), which trains about 20,000 air traffic control students every year. This campus is a huge part of our community, and I am proud it will remain the primary training center right here in Oklahoma.”
