US Officials Urge Funds for Aviation
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and major airlines urged Congress to approve thirty billion dollars for aviation reforms. The funding will upgrade air traffic control systems, towers, and regional airports following recent tech failures.
United States transportation officials and industry leaders urged lawmakers on Monday afternoon to quickly approve $30 billion for aviation infrastructure upgrades. The funding push follows a severe telecommunications failure last week that paralyzed traffic along the East Coast. Lawmakers previously approved $12.5 billion in June 2025 following a fatal mid-air collision in January 2025.
