What's Wrong with Air Travel? More than 760 million passengers travel on U.S. airlines each year. PARADE asked Marion Blakey, who recently left her post as head of the Federal Aviation Administration, what the government is doing to make flying less stressful. What has gone wrong with air travel? We’re in the safest period in aviation history, but some of our current system is built on World War II technology. Planes must fly on specific highways in the sky to maintain contact with the ground. It costs time and fuel and is inefficient. Recently, the White House opened up military airspace to help with the travel crunch. Why don’t we do this all the time? Freeing up military airspace isn’t a permanent solution. We need to redesign how we use airspace and fly on the most efficient flight paths. Marion Blakely was head of the FAA until recently and doesn't know the answer to these questions? What the hell did he/she do while in charge?
