Some planes crashed. Now people want to make the system that helps planes fly better. They also want to get more people to work there.
This can help keep things safe and stop problems at the airport in Newark.
The travel boss, Sean Duffy, has a big plan to fix air travel. He wants to show it on Thursday. The FAA is working fast to fix computer and worker problems in Newark airport. They want to stop problems in other airports too.
Old systems have problems with many daily flights.
We don't know if the plan will get money from the government.
We will fix it. We will make a new system for everyone, Duffy said.
We don't know many details about the plan.
The system worked well for a long time, so people didn't change it. But working well is not enough for flying because people's lives are in danger.
Jacobson is not sure if Duffy's idea will work.
There are problems with the system that controls airplanes. Some parts are old and don't work well. One time, all planes had to stop for a few hours.
The system and the infrastructure are old. We need to give it more attention.
Old wires cause problems for airplanes and airports.
A computer system for planes in Philadelphia had a problem.
The FAA will change old wires. They will add three new lines. They are also training more people to help.
We don't know how long this will take. But someone hopes things get better by summer.
Because of this, fewer planes can fly at Newark. Some flights are canceled. Officials will talk to airlines about how many planes can fly. On Wednesday, many flights at Newark were canceled. This happened even after one airline stopped some flights.
The people who control planes made small changes since 2003. Now, planes can tell others where they are. The helicopter in the crash in January did not tell where it was. This is important for the people looking at the crash.
Duffy wants more air traffic controllers. He makes the training faster and helps students pass. The FAA gives money to older controllers so they don't stop working soon.
It is hard to make the sky system better because the FAA must use the old one while they make a new one. Then they must change without problems. This is why they made small changes before.
The problem is old. It is hard to fix. It needs money and good help. The FAA did not have enough money or good help for years.
