Bank of America just raised its EUR/USD forecast
Investing.com -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asked Congress on Wednesday to provide an additional $19 billion to modernize the nation’s aging air traffic control system.
The request comes after lawmakers had already approved $12.5 billion over five years for the system.
"We’re talking $31.5 billion to do the full project," Duffy said during a U.S. House hearing, advocating for a funding plan that has support from airlines and other aviation groups.
The Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control network has faced long-standing issues, but concerns have intensified following several recent incidents. These include multiple near-misses and a fatal January crash between a U.S. Army helicopter and a regional American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) jet that killed 67 people.
