Exclusive: Secretary Duffy tours Phoenix Sky Harbor, airport to get new tech as part of modernization push

The U.S. Transportation Secretary is at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on Thursday to consider how some of the $12.5 billion dollars for air travel from the One Big Beautiful Bill could be used to improve operations. Secretary Sean Duffy spoke with ABC15 in an exclusive interview.

The future of air travel could be shaped by Phoenix Sky Harbor, according to Secretary Duffy, who took a tour of the airport.

“Phoenix is, as you know, a wildly expanding market. A lot of growth here, and so the airport is growing to meet the needs of the community,” Secretary Duffy said. "But also, something unique is happening in Phoenix at Sky Harbor. You have some of the better technology in all of our airports across the country. So I wanted to see what technology you currently have, but then also what upgrades you're going to need.”

Those upgrades would be paid for by funding secured for air traffic modernization through the One Big Beautiful Bill.
