Duffy went on to say that he was working with President Donald Trump to modernize the system.
"Working with @POTUS, we are going to do what no administration has done: deliver an all-new, envy of the world ATC system," he concluded.
In the passage that Duffy highlighted, the report noted that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) "has been slow to modernize some of the most critical and at-risk systems."
"Specifically, when considering age, sustainability ratings, operational impact level, and expected date of modernization or replacement for each system, as of May 2024, FAA had 17 systems that were especially concerning," the report said.

"[In January] I started digging into the FAA and realized it wasn't just one small part of the infrastructure. It was the whole infrastructure that had to be built brand new," Duffy explained. "And so I've developed a plan. I've talked to the president. He has signed off on the plan."
