WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to meet with the CEOs of major airlines on Wednesday on the government's $12.5 billion plan to overhaul the nation's aging air traffic control system, sources told Reuters.
Duffy will attend a meeting of Airlines for America, the trade group representing United Airlines UAL.O, Delta Air Lines DAL.N, American Airlines AAL.O, Southwest Airlines LUV.N and others.
Airlines have been pushing USDOT to take steps to rollback airline passenger consumer protections advanced during the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden.
