Airlines for America Statement on FAA Reauthorization Bill

Airlines for America (A4A), the industry trade organization for the leading U.S. airlines, has applauded the introduction of legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including transformational Air Traffic Control (ATC) reform. “This legislation moves the 2 million passengers and 50,000 tons of cargo flying on U.S. airlines every day one step closer to the world-class ATC system that airline customers deserve” The inefficiency of our current ATC system costs customers, airlines and our economy $30 billion annually in unnecessary delays. A4A and our members have consistently advocated for Congress to support transforming our nation’s Air Traffic Organization system
