WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Transportation Secretary

Sean Duffy plans to meet with the CEOs of major airlines on

Wednesday on the government's $12.5 billion plan to overhaul the

nation's aging air traffic control system, sources told Reuters.

Duffy will attend a meeting of Airlines for America, the

trade group representing United Airlines, Delta Air

Lines ( DAL ), American Airlines ( AAL ), Southwest Airlines ( LUV )

and others.

airline passenger consumer protections advanced during the

administration of Democratic President Joe Biden.
