Congress Pressed to Pass Modern Skies Act for Air Traffic Control Upgrades
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is urging Congress to quickly approve $30 billion in funding for the Modern Skies Act, which aims to reform air traffic control systems, upgrade software and digital infrastructure, and improve airport facilities. This comes after Congress approved $12.5 billion for air traffic control reforms in June 2025. The additional funding is seen as crucial for enhancing the efficiency and safety of US air traffic control. The development was reported by The Economic Times.
