The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is bolstering support and scrutiny for the air traffic controller team at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) after a tragic midair crash over the Potomac River resulted in 67 fatalities.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the FAA revealed plans to boost operational supervisor numbers from six to eight and to reassess the staffing of certified professional controllers at DCA.

This move follows the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) safety recommendations for DCA after the fatal January 29 incident involving a commercial airliner and an Army Black Hawk helicopter.

In response to the crash, which happened during an Army flight check, the FAA said it will also be sending its Critical Incident Stress Management team “to support the well-being of controllers” this month.

The team will offer confidential support to staff “following stressful events,” according to the statement.

Regular wellness checks will also be conducted at the facility.

The FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
