We&rsquo;re going to build a brand new traffic control system, from new telecom to new radars to new infrastructure. We&rsquo;re bringing on new air traffic controllers. This has been a problem in the decades coming, and we&rsquo;re going to fix it. Donald Trump loves the airspace. He talks about airplanes. He&rsquo;s bought in with the plan.
