July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. aviation sector urged Congress on Wednesday to provide $20 billion to complete a massive effort to modernize America’s aging air traffic control system and reduce systemic flight disruptions.
An aviation coalition including airlines, airplane manufacturers, unions and others said the $20 billion is needed to replace or upgrade hundreds of aging air traffic control facilities, deploy state-of-the-art technologies for controllers and to develop advanced airspace traffic management tools to improve safety and reduce delays.
