Air Traffic Control
NAICS 488111 · Federal Contracts & Awards
USAspending.gov records $259,060,930.74 in Air Traffic Control (NAICS 488111) obligations for fiscal year 2026. About ten percent of a $2.56 billion air-traffic-control extract sits on this FY2026 row. Seventy-seven industry-extract awards against a two-and-a-half-billion-dollar book is a thin, concentrated parent file, not a tower roster. That pair is Air Traffic Control (NAICS 488111) and federal fiscal year 2026 — not every federal dollar in FY2026, not Air Traffic Control's $2,562,178,818.05 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 10.1% of this industry's published obligation total. 77 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.
Key figures
- Air Traffic Control in FY2026: $259,060,930.74 in USAspending obligations (NAICS 488111).
- That cell is 10.1% of the industry's $2,562,178,818.05 extract-wide total.
- 77 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026 census.
- NAICS 488111 × FY2026 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
- Cite USAspending.gov; quote /industries/488111/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if live tables moved.
A yearlyTrend join: NAICS 488111 × FY2026
NAICS 488111 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $259,060,930.74 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Air Traffic Control's nationwide all-year total of $2,562,178,818.05, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split tower from en-route from approach control, or contract from assistance. 77 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a tower census, a controller headcount, or a named-facility roster.
This page reports air traffic control activity USAspending tagged to FY2026. The headline $259,060,930.74 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $2,562,178,818.05; the 10.1% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Do not invent facility names or a controller headcount. Recipients remain unpublished.
Air Traffic Control as an industry code, not as a named-vendor list
USAspending labels NAICS 488111 as Air Traffic Control. That code produced $259,060,930.74 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 488111 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Air Traffic Control. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split tower from en-route from approach control, or contract from assistance. A 10-percent year share is arithmetic on two packet totals. It is not a claim that air-traffic-control work happened only in FY2026 in the real economy.
Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $259,060,930.74 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 488111 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a tower census, a controller headcount, or a named-facility roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Seventy-seven industry-extract award records are not seventy-seven FY2026 towers and not seventy-seven unique operators.

Questions
- How much Air Traffic Control spending is obligated in FY2026?
- USAspending.gov lists $259,060,930.74 in Air Traffic Control (NAICS 488111) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 10.1% of the industry's $2,562,178,818.05 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $259,060,930.74 the entire Air Traffic Control USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 488111's extract-wide total is $2,562,178,818.05. FY2026 is 10.1% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/488111/ into this join. 77 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $259,060,930.74 cash already paid in FY2026?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $259,060,930.74 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Is FY2026 ranked against other years here?
- No. This page does not rank FY2026 as a winner or loser. $259,060,930.74 describes one yearlyTrend join. Other years have their own cells. Cite Air Traffic Control and FY2026 together without a league table. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 488111 in FY2026.
USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
