    The business aviation community is an important customer in our air traffic control system. Our goal is to implement smarter tools and interconnected systems that will help us optimize flight scheduling, flight tracking, in order to strengthen safety and efficiency. Thank you, @NBAA for the invitation to participate in the fireside chat at your annual convention. I look forward to more conversations and engagement on the issues that matter most, as we continue making significant progress in our efforts to modernize our nation's air traffic control system. #NBAA2026

    Great to be back with our industry partners at the @RAATweets Leaders Conference yesterday! We discussed the progress we’re making to modernize the National Airspace System, including SMART and how this new tool will help us better manage airspace, respond to weather and keep traffic moving. We also talked about how the new ASM office and safety management data are helping us identify risks earlier and strengthen safety across the system.

    Our airspace is getting SMARTer ✈️ SMART - or Strategic Management of Airspace Routes & Trajectories - is our new AI tool: ✅ Pulls 200 data streams into 1 platform ✅ Prevents delays & cancellations before they happen ✅ Reduces stress on air traffic controllers This is the most advanced air traffic management system in the world, and it is all thanks to @POTUS WATCH @foxandfriends @kilmeade @FoxNews 👇

    Excited to join the @RohdeSchwarz's team at the grand opening of their new manufacturing facility in Maryland that will support the FAA and @USDOT efforts to deploy brand new voice switches. Since January, we've deployed and installed voice switches at 140 airport towers, giving our controllers across the U.S. faster connections and clearer communications with aircraft. 🇺🇸 ✈️ As our airspace grows busier and more complex, we’re continuing to upgrade technology and strengthen the systems that keep our skies safe while we continue to build a brand new air traffic control system travelers deserve.

    As @FAA_Chris steps down as FAA Deputy Administrator, I want to thank him for his extraordinary service to the FAA and the American public. 🇺🇸 Chris has been an incredible partner since I came onboard over a year ago, and led the agency before I arrived with honor and compassion. He has been a steady hand at the tiller whose deep agency experience and unwavering commitment to our safety mission have been invaluable. Together, we have worked to build a more modern, innovative, and transformative FAA that is better positioned to meet the challenges of the future. Chris's contributions to the FAA will have a lasting impact, and I wish him success in the next chapter of his career. ✈️

    We're accelerating the next era of flight! Supersonic aircraft will drastically reduce travel times, and the FAA will safely guide them across the National Airspace System. ✈️💨
    Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47
    For too long, outdated rules based on old technology held back American aerospace innovation. Now, we are updating those rules for the first time since the 1970s. Today @USDOT announced a new proposal to enable civil supersonic flight by replacing speed limits with noise limits, ushering in a new era of safer, quieter, and faster air travel for all Americans. Thank you @SecDuffy and @FAA_Bryan for your leadership in ensuring the future of flight is invented and built in the USA.

    Aviation safety is a global effort, and it's always a pleasure to join forces with @EASA to advance our shared goals. As airspace demands evolve, alignment between regulators and industry is critical to fostering innovation and harmonizing safety standards. While we modernize our air traffic control system, we're leveraging automation, machine learning, and real-time data to strengthen safety and identify risks earlier. Looking forward to continue sharing best practices and collaborating with partners to keep our national and global airspace systems safe, resilient, and ready for the future.

    The FAA is moving at the speed of Trump as we transform the air traffic control system making it more modern, safer, and smarter and I'm honored to be at the helm of the agency at such a transformational time. I shared @CAPA_Aviation that we're building a system not just for the American flying public, but for all the users of the system - current and future. We're gaining valuable insight from our stakeholders, sharing best practices and shaping the future of aviation. Innovation is driving our transformation, but safety will always be our top priority.

    RT @RepFrankLucas: I’m proud that this innovative technology and training is occurring in OKC. Thank you @SecDuffy and @FAA_Bryan for investing your time and resources into the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.
    Rep. Tom Cole @TomColeOK04
    Yesterday, I led a hearing, where we collected testimony from @SecDuffy. During the hearing, I utilized some of my time with the Secretary to advocate for the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in OKC. We have the land, the facilities, and a world-class staff in Oklahoma to ensure that air traffic controllers receive in-person, focused, state-of-the-art training. Therefore, I will always fight for the funding the center needs to modernize and expand, while at the same time push back on any effort to decentralize or weaken what we have built there. I'd like to thank Secretary Duffy for the attention he has given to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, as he truly understands what this facility means to the safety of our nation's entire aviation system.
