Mr Le Ray said the system allowed planes to land in lower visibility by giving guidance to pilots, "particularly when the cloud base is low".
If we can upgrade those technologies, then we could reduce delays, we could reduce cancellations, we could reduce the amount of time that it takes when there's bad weather for planes to land.
What it is, is that because we don't use the latest technologies, a lot of times the holding patterns for planes, how many planes can land safely at the same time, all those things are -- reduce the efficiency of -- the overall system is reduced because we're not using the best technologies available.

But fewer controllers will mean planes have to take off and land less frequently so as not to overload controllers on duty, he said.
Their sheer size as they cut through the ocean, the scream of planes taking off and coming into land, makes them an exciting, visceral experience, says Thompson.
The FAA has said that planes will have to take off and land less frequently, so as not to overload the remaining controllers on duty.
In particular aviation planners are focusing on ways of cutting the amount of time planes spend queuing to take off and land, in the process burning large and unnecessary amounts of fuel (IATA estimates that airlines could cut their annual CO2 emissions by 12 percent if air-traffic control operations were more efficient).
CNN: Green wing:?can technology make flying more environmentally friendly?
There is still no approval for U.S. cargo planes filled with drinking water and other aid materials to land inside Myanmar, also known as Burma.
