GAO: FAA Can Do More To Address Laser Strikes
Reported laser strikes increased nearly 42 percent from 2020, and the GAO is concerned about incomplete FAA reporting of these incidents.

Reported laser strikes of aircraft totaled 9,723 last year, a nearly 42 percent increase from the 6,852 incidents in 2020, according to FAA data. Despite the levying of fines of up to $30,000 per incident and jail time of more than four years, a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said the FAA can do more to address the problem.
