The White House has launched a concerted effort to urge Congress to approve a $30.1 billion funding proposal aimed at overhauling air traffic control and modernizing airports. This initiative comes as part of a broader strategy to enhance air safety and improve infrastructure. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is leading the lobbying effort, emphasizing the urgency of securing these funds during the lame-duck session of Congress. The administration believes that the investment is crucial for preventing potential safety issues and keeping the aviation sector competitive.
