JetBlue Airways Corp. is urging President-elect Donald Trump to bolster the nation’s air traffic control system, which industry leaders have blamed for travel disruptions due to insufficient staffing and outdated technology.

“I wish this administration would focus more on air traffic control,” Chief Executive Officer Joanna Geraghty said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday. “That has definitely been a meaningful pressure for JetBlue and other airlines.”
