“One of the reasons past air traffic control modernization efforts failed was a lack of transparency. We’re forecasting 5.4 million flights from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend — 54,000 today alone. That surging demand underscores why the work we’re doing is so important. Ahead of a busy travel weekend, I hope every flyer checks our website as we work to build the safest and most technologically advanced air traffic control system in the world.” Source: Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford have launched a website highlighting the more than 10,000 air-traffic control modernization projects that are happening across the nation. The website – https://modernskies.faa.gov – says the FAA is replacing aging systems with fast, resilient, next-generation technology—delivering a safer, stronger, and modern National Airspace System.
