DOT Secretary Calls for Construction of Six New Air Traffic Control Centers and Upgrades to More Than a Dozen Airport Towers

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called for the construction of six new “state-of-the-art” air traffic control centers “for the first time since” the 1960s along with more than a dozen airport towers over the next three years. While Secretary Duffy did not propose a specific funding amount, he said the proposal “marks the broadest attempt in years to modernize the country’s air traffic control system.”
