Aviation Reforms Need Immediate $30 Billion Funding
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is urging Congress to quickly approve the Modern Skies Act, which requires an additional $30 billion for air traffic control reforms, software upgrades, and improvements to airport facilities. This comes after Congress approved $12.5 billion for air traffic control reforms in June 2025. The act aims to enhance the efficiency and safety of US air travel, with major airlines and other groups also supporting the initiative, as reported by The Economic Times.
