▪ Objective: Estimate cost differentials between conventional towers and remote tower services — Based on FAA Contract Towers (FCTs) currently owned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) — Goal of lowering the cost to FAA of provide tower services at these airports ▪ Highlights: Results show that remote tower alternatives evaluated in this analysis are more cost effective than continued use of conventional towered airport services — Compared to continued use of conventional towers, implementing remote towers has lower upfront capital costs, operations and maintenance costs, and overall lifecycle costs.
