Investing.com -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed support Wednesday for an independent audit of airspace operations and safety oversight in the Washington, D.C. region following a fatal collision that killed 67 people.
The January 29 crash involved an American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) regional passenger jet and an Army helicopter. The deadly incident has raised concerns about coordination between military and civilian air traffic control.
The audit request comes after two dozen U.S. senators on Monday called for the Pentagon and Transportation Department inspector generals to investigate the collision and ongoing coordination problems between the Army and air traffic control at Reagan Washington National Airport.
The senators’ request was prompted not only by the January collision but also by a serious close call that occurred on May 1 between aircraft in the same area.
