The Trump administration has unveiled a comprehensive plan to modernize the aging air traffic control system, estimated to cost billions of dollars. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the need for urgent upgrades to improve safety and alleviate delays, particularly following recent disruptions at Newark Airport. The initiative is focused on revamping outdated technology and infrastructure, which has faced longstanding criticisms due to equipment issues that impact operational efficiency. Duffy has urged Congress for funding support and highlighted the importance of attracting new talent in the field as the nation faces a shortage of air traffic controllers. This major overhaul aims to address key safety concerns and ultimately enhance the overall aviation experience for travelers.
