AirVenture Today
AirVenture Today is the official daily newspaper for the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Air Show.
CNN Story on Oshkosh
During AirVenture, the world’s busiest airport is Oshkosh. CNN highlights in this story what it takes for air traffic controllers to manage 10,000 aircraft. Throughout the airshow, Oshkosh’s air traffic control tower is busier than Atlanta, which has been the world’s busiest airport since 2000. AirVenture brings in special air traffic controllers, as the air traffic surpasses that of the world’s busiest airports, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dubai, Beijing, and London.
