After a bad crash with a plane and a helicopter, the government wants to make the system for planes better and get more people to help.
They say this can help keep people safe and stop problems like the ones at the Newark airport last week.
The transport leader wants to show a big plan for flights on Thursday. He also wants to fix problems at one airport fast and stop problems at other airports.
The old system has problems with many daily flights.
It is not clear if Duffy's plan will get money from the government. The plan may not work better than old plans. Duffy says the plan is important. They spent a lot of money since 2003, but the system is still the same.
We will make it better for everyone, Duffy said.
We don't have many details about the plan yet.
A teacher said the system was okay for a long time. But okay is not good for flying because people can die.
Maybe more people will like the idea after the plane accidents.
People have talked about problems with the system for planes for many years.
The old system is not good, Frank Lorenzo said. We need to give it more attention.
Old wires cause problems at airports.
A plane system stopped working for a short time on April 28.
The government will change old wires to new ones and add three new lines. They will also train more people to work.
He hopes things get better in Newark by summer because the work on the runway finishes then.
The airport had many canceled flights.
A system called ADS-B helps planes see where other planes are.
Duffy wants more people to control airplanes. He made it faster to go to the school and helped students learn better. The FAA also gives extra money to controllers who work longer.
It is hard for the FAA to make the system for planes better. They have to use the old system while they make the new one. Then, they have to change to the new one easily. This is why they made small changes before.
The problem is old. It is hard to fix. It needs money and good leaders. The FAA needs more money and good leaders.
