FAA activates first US digital air traffic control towers in Florida and Alaska

The FAA has brought the first digital air traffic control towers online at Bartow Executive Airport (KBOW) in Florida and Kenai Municipal Airport (PAEN) in Alaska, marking the initial US deployment of remote, 360-degree camera-based tower technology. The move is part of the Trump administration's push to modernize aging aviation infrastructure, with five more regional airports planned. Concerns about the technology's reliability and safety have been raised, though the FAA asserts operational readiness.
