Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sought to quell concerns over airline travel following the recent plane crash near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., assuring it is still the safest form of travel while expressing a desire to make it even safer.

The crash between an American Airlines flight and a military Black Hawk helicopter, which killed 67 people, occurred hours after Duffy was sworn in as the Trump administration’s secretary of transportation. In the aftermath of the crash, a report revealed that almost all of the United States’s 313 air traffic control facilities were below the recommended staffing level. However, Duffy contended that this statistic should not make anyone scared to take commercial flights.
