The fight, in detail.

The Airline Dispatchers Federation serves as the unified voice of the professional aircraft dispatcher community before Congress, the Federal Aviation Administration, and international regulatory bodies. For decades, ADF has championed the critical role dispatchers play in maintaining the safety of the national airspace system — from advocating for proper regulatory recognition under Parts 121 and 135, to ensuring dispatchers have a seat at the table when new technologies like Advanced Air Mobility reshape the industry. Through position papers, public comment on rulemaking, coalition building, and direct engagement with policymakers, ADF works to protect and advance the profession so that every flight continues to benefit from the shared responsibility of operational control.
