🚨GAME CHANGER🚨

Introducing “SMART” — the new air traffic management tool that saves YOU time, cuts back DELAYS, and makes your flying experience BETTER

MORE TO COME ✈️

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

Make a pledge to work with @USDOT and hire veterans and truckers at https://t.co/XMRvsfNWXb

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

On this Veterans Day, as we celebrate those who served our country, those who served are getting into trucking with Freedom Haulers

✅ 12 trucking companies now pledging to to hire more than 13,000 vets
✅Nearly 400 Veterans have already used their GI bill to obtain benefits
✅ $3.5 million invested in 21 states to expand training programs for veterans

Veterans have grit, perseverance and patriotism. Freedom Haulers makes it easier for them to transition into a profession where they make great money, have flexibility, and serve this country on our roads 🇺🇸

PROOF OUR SKIES ARE GETTING SMART-ER

Every day, I'm posting an example of how our new air traffic control management system — SMART — is saving YOU from endless delays and cancellations.

Last week, a flight out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport carrying 119 passengers was supposed to hit bad weather. The initial plan was to fly around the storm.

That’s when experts in our SMART lab stepped in. Using predictive weather models, the lab developed a new, faster and shorter route.
The change saved flyers from a 33 minute delay!

Less time on the tarmac. More time at your destination. That's the power of SMART — more to come 🛫 @FAANews

MADE IN AMERICA IS BACK 🇺🇸

Thanks to President Trump's leadership, Honda's new plant means more jobs for American workers and more American-made cars on American roads.

For years, severe weather could mean hours of delays for your flights. We’re changing that.

@FAANews is expanding its SMART platform nationwide, cutting flight times, saving millions of dollars in fuel, and keeping traffic moving even when storms hit.

Check out how the impact is already being felt on flights now 👇@cnn

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

I agree @SecVetAffairs, there’s no better way to grow our economy, get illegal alien truckers off our highways, and deploy elite American talent — than by putting Veterans behind the wheel of America’s big rigs 🇺🇸

Freedom Haulers is a win for our Veterans AND our supply chain

The question today is, what’s the future of aviation? Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights said, “IF YOU’RE NOT FIRST, YOU’RE LAST!”

In America, we are going to be first.

We are changing the course and trajectory of aviation.

Congratulations @StephenM — let’s keep working to deliver meaningful results for American families on our roads and our skies.

Thank you @SusieWiles47 for your distinguished service to our country. I wish you continued success in this next chapter.

WATCH: @USDOT isn’t just talking about the future of aviation—we’re clearing the runway for it

-Modernizing our Air Traffic Control System
-Ushering in eVTOLs
-Unleashing drone dominance
-Streamlining commercial space launches

…And that's just the BEGINNING. Incredible energy sharing what's next at the UP.Summit at Kennedy Space Center

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

Just went airborne in the JETSON ONE. Personal flight isn't the future anymore — it's here. ⚡🚁 @jetson_aero

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

🚀STREAMLINING COMMERCIAL SPACE LAUNCHES STARTS TODAY

The rules and regulations are outdated. That changes now! We have to modernize. We can’t live in a world that’s 20-30 years old.

@POTUS wants a THOUSAND commercial space launches by 2030 and that’s why new technology has to be deployed at @USDOT to make sure we are moving at the speed of innovators @SquawkCNBC

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

Flying is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It’s an AMERICAN issue 🇺🇸

[USDOT Rapid Response @USDOTRapid]

✈️ @SecDuffy: “It’s amazing the kind of bipartisan support that I’ve had. $12.5 billion of historic investment for our Brand New Air Traffic Control System… there was support on both sides of the isle. I think that’s going to continue... I look forward to working with Democrats and making sure the future of transportation is bright and innovative and safer and it happens faster.”

Everybody flies and people are sick of the congestion and delays. It’s a bipartisan issue!
