Chris Sununu: $50 Billion Air Traffic Control Overhaul Will Help Prevent Future Systemwide Disruptions

RUSH EXCERPT:

SUNUNU: “Oh, it will absolutely help prevent things like this in the future. And what the dollars really go to is this new common automation platform, new the next about 10 billion or so is for new that the new towers. I‘ve been in some of these towers and they‘re literally leaking on the air traffic controllers heads. So a new towers that right now have no plan to get replaced. New simulator systems. So we can train people faster. And a lot of it goes to actual airport infrastructure because the airports themselves, whether it‘s tsa technology, all the other pieces of the system, some of which have been upgraded, but some are a bit antiquated, especially the smaller airports, the mid-sized ones, maybe they don‘t get a whole lot of attention, but there‘s billions of dollars in there.“
