WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Wednesday he supports an independent audit into airspace operations and safety oversight in the Washington, D.C., region after a January 29 fatal collision between an American Airlines AAL.O regional passenger jet and an Army helicopter killed 67 people.

On Monday, two dozen U.S. senators asked the inspector generals for the Pentagon and the Transportation Department to open audits in response to the collision and ongoing coordination issues between the Army and air traffic control at Reagan Washington National Airport, following the collision and a serious close call on May 1.
