Ladies and gentlemen, President Trump is ready to tackle infrastructure, and by “infrastructure,” we mean the air traffic control system.
Trump is proposing privatization of the air traffic control system, removing it from the Federal Aviation Administration and putting it in the hands of a private nonprofit corporation. It would be funded primarily by passenger fees, as it is today. The fees would just be collected by a different agency. [Reuters / David Shepardson]
