华盛顿，9月22日（路透社）——美国运输部长肖恩·达菲周二表示，他将请求国会再拨款300亿美元，用于空中交通管制塔、软件和数字化升级，以及改善机场设施。
国会2025年6月批准了未来五年125亿美元的空中交通管制改革拨款，但达菲一直寻求更多资金，并于周二提出了额外100亿美元的机场拨款请求。

“我们将向国会申请300亿美元，”达菲在华盛顿的一场演讲中表示。“我们必须审视国家的变化，以及机场的需求。”
自周一发生重大电信故障导致东海岸交通瘫痪数小时、数千次航班受阻以来，这项拨款请求有了新的紧迫性。
申请的资金中约有100亿美元用于更换老化的空中交通管制塔，另有100亿美元用于空中交通管制所用的电信和其他技术系统。
部分资金将用于扩大美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）周一开始使用的新型软件系统，该系统利用预测分析来优化航班管理流程。

上周发布的一份政府报告称，国会仅需批准更多资金即可完成空中交通管制项目的第一阶段，并表示FAA需要更准确地估算新系统的运营成本。
报告显示，电信升级的成本已从47.5亿美元跃升至59.1亿美元。FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德表示，过时的电信铜缆应在2027年9月前完全更换。

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Tuesday that he will ask Congress to approve another $30 billion for air traffic control towers, software and digital upgrades as well as improving airport facilities.
Congress approved $12.5 billion over five years in June 2025 for air traffic control reforms but Duffy has been seeking billions more and on Tuesday sought another $10 billion for airports.

“We are going to ask Congress for $30 billion,” Duffy said at a speech in Washington. “We have to look at how the country has changed and what the needs are at the airports.”
The request has taken on new urgency since a major telecom failure on Monday a paralyzed traffic along the east coast for hours and disrupted thousands of flights.
About $10 billion of the funding being sought is to replace aging air traffic control towers and another $10 billion is for telecom and other tech systems used for air traffic control.
Some of the funding being sought is to expand a new software-based system the FAA began using on Monday that uses predictive analytics to improve how flights are managed.

A government report last week said Congress needs to approve more money just to finish the first phase of the air traffic control program and said the FAA needs a better estimate of how much the new system will cost to operate.
The price tag for telecommunications upgrades has jumped $4.75 billion to $5.91 billion, the report said. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said outdated telecom copper wires should be completely replaced by September 2027.
