Duffy said the key to upgrading the nation’s air traffic control system is "speed."
"It's not that we don't know that we've had a problem with air traffic control, but it takes too long. And then technology changes, money changes, administrations change. So we have to do this really fast. And so the Congress has to give us all the money up front," he told "Fox & Friends."
