WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy will unveil a plan next week to upgrade the
aging, under-staffed U.S. air traffic control system next week,
he said on Friday.
Duffy said earlier this month that he planned to ask
Congress for tens of billions of dollars for a multi-year effort
to revamp air traffic control and boost hiring after a series of
aviation safety incidents raised alarm. Duffy said on Friday
that he had briefed President Donald Trump, who wants "to create
a state-of-the-art, brand new air control system" and supports
the plan.
