US-Präsident Donald Trump will die Staatsausgaben senken. Das Sparprogramm trifft nun zahlreiche Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der Luftfahrtbehörde. Und das wenige Wochen nach einer tödlichen Kollision im Luftraum von Washington.
The Trump administration has laid off hundreds of employees at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) via email as part of a cost-cutting initiative to reduce government spending. The decision follows a recent deadly collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter in Washington, D.C., raising concerns about the safety of an overburdened air traffic control system. The government aims to modernize the system with the help of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
