Aviation leaders applaud Trump’s $12.5B budget law for kickstarting an ambitious air traffic control (ATC) upgrade. While groups like Airlines for America and Modern Skies Coalition hailed the funding, they caution more is needed to meet the $31B target. Key allocations include radar upgrades, telecom infrastructure, and a new control center. The bill also funds 5,000 new CBP hires and extends sustainable aviation fuel tax credits, pleasing airports and farmers alike.
