The Federal Aviation Administration said on March 19 it will install enhanced safety technology at 74 airports by the end of 2026 to help detect runway incursions.

The system is operational at four airports and will be installed at another 70 airports over the next 19 months. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on March 19 that he aims to announce soon a plan to replace aging technologies in the U.S. air traffic control system.
