President-elect Obama will be taking on travel issues in upcoming term, according to bloomberg.com.

Obama pledged to keep current limits on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines' stock, and may accelerate air- traffic control upgrades and improve controllers' working conditions, according to industry groups and unions.

Under Obama, American, Continental Airlines Inc. and other carriers have a better chance of protecting their flights in New York, the nation's largest air-travel market, said Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Association.

Obama will focus on modernizing the air-traffic control system, which would reduce airline delays that were the second-worst on record last year.
Planned upgrades include using satellites to guide airplanes.
