Port Authority To Expand Airport Transponder Use
The Port Authority plans to expand transponder use across its airports following a deadly crash at LaGuardia last month. The agency stated these devices provide air traffic controllers with additional visibility for tracking vehicles on runways. A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board indicated the fire truck involved in the collision lacked a transponder. The move aims to improve safety protocols according to the agency. Officials have not specified the exact timeline for the rollout.
