The Department of Transportation will build a "brand new air traffic control system" by 2028, Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday.

On May 8, 2025, CNN reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is facing significant scrutiny due to ongoing equipment issues and safety concerns. The FAA has acknowledged problems with critical air traffic control and navigation systems, which have led to delays and heightened safety risks.

In response, the FAA is planning to invest heavily in upgrading its infrastructure and has promised to implement stricter safety protocols. The situation has sparked a broader discussion about the need for modernization and increased funding for the FAA to ensure the safety and efficiency of the national airspace system.
