Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Trump administration will take steps to boost air traffic controller hiring.

Duffy said he was reconsidering rules that had allowed air traffic control supervisors to reduce staffing at Washington ’s Reagan National Airport before a fatal helicopter-plane collision that killed 67 people in January .

The FAA is about 3,500 fully certified air traffic controllers short of targeted staffing levels.
