💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump announced a multibillion-dollar overhaul of the U.S. air traffic control system amid safety concerns following recent plane crashes and near misses. The aging system, struggling with over 45,000 daily flights, needs modernization to prevent accidents like the January midair collision over Washington, D.C. The plan, yet to be detailed, aims to address controller shortages and technical failures, with an estimated cost of $12.5 billion.
