The Modern Skies Coalition strongly supports the Modern Skies Act and urges Congress to provide the additional $30 billion needed to complete the modernization of our nation's air traffic control system. The progress made over the past year has shown what's possible when we invest in the future of the NAS. We thank @SecDuffy, @FAA_Bryan and @SenEricSchmitt for their leadership in keeping this critical effort moving forward.

. @USDOTRapid and @FAANews took another important step toward modernizing America’s air traffic control system with the installation of a new surface movement radar system at @EWRairport. "The Modern Skies Coalition supports continued, sustained investment to fully modernize the NAS. An additional $20 billion would help deliver the modern software needed to unlock the capabilities of the new infrastructure already being deployed and move the aviation system toward a safer, more resilient and more efficient future."

. @USDOTRapid is making progress on foundational safety improvements across the NAS. But without modern software, the traveling and shipping public won’t feel the full impact of these investments.
That’s why Congress needs to invest an additional $10 billion to continue modernizing our ATC system and deliver a safer, more efficient NAS.

50+ aviation stakeholders, part of the @FlyModernSkies Coalition, sent a letter this week urging Congress to allocate $20 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System. Workers, airlines, airports & passengers will all benefit from a safer, more reliable ATC system.

The leverage to end a shutdown should never be TSA agents and federal law enforcement missing paychecks. Those families have nothing to do with Congress failing to finish its work. My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act puts the pressure where it belongs: on Congress.

Essential federal employees should never be used as political pawns, and the flying public should never be left at risk.
Chairman @SenTedCruz's Keep America Flying Act ensures @TSA personnel and air traffic controllers will continue getting paid during a government shutdown.

America’s air traffic control system has long needed a serious upgrade, and today we saw real progress. Proud to join the Modern Skies Summit, where @SecDuffy & @FAA_Bryan unveiled major improvements to ATC.
Travelers deserve a system that’s modern, reliable & ready for the future.

Today at the Modern Skies Summit at @USDOT headquarters.
Encouraging to hear about the progress and vision for modernizing our aviation system from @SecDuffy, @FAA_Bryan, and other prominent aviation leaders.
Travelers are counting on a system that is reliable, modern, and built for the future.
As a member of the @FlyModernSkies Coalition, Affordable Skies looks forward to continued progress toward a system that is safer and more affordable for the traveling public.

. @SecDuffy: "We hired 2,400 new controllers in the last 12 months. We have more controllers for the first time since pre-pandemic. I got $12.5 billion that I'm working on right now. We're going to have new radar, new voice switches. But the next part is we need new software to manage the system. Congress has to give me money for that."

. @AP: “ ‘Congress has the power to end this dysfunction once and for all, and must use any legislative vehicle to accomplish this goal,’ the Modern Skies Coalition said in a joint statement this week. The broad coalition of more than 60 organizations pointed to the Aviation Funding Solvency Act, Aviation Funding Stability Act and Keep America Flying Act as potential options.” Read the full story: apnews.com/article/congress-…

PASS proud to be @FlyModernSkies member. Our letter states: "Shutdowns set back efforts to hire, train, modernize [ATC]. Aviation industry & people who work in it cannot continue to be used as political leverage." All @FAA workers should be paid during a shutdown. #aviationsafety
