Congress Eyes $20B for Sky Safety | Orlando News

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Aviation’s asking Congress for $20 billion to overhaul its crumbling air traffic control system—old tech, safety risks, and massive delays are the price of inaction. After last year’s $12.5 billion fix, industry heavyweights from Boeing to pilot unions agree: the skies are strained. Recent blackouts, like the Newark disaster, and obsolete gear—51 out of 138 systems can’t even be replaced—are fueling the push. By 2028, thousands of new connections and radar upgrades are planned. Congress may soon approve more funding to keep flights safe and on schedule.
