U.S. Senate Leaders to Revive Stalled FAA Reauthorization Bill
U.S. Senate leaders said they would bring up the long-stalled FAA Reauthorization Bill next month. The House of Representatives passed its version of the bill last year. The bill would mandate background checks for pilots, offer protections for passengers stranded on tarmacs, and modernize the air traffic control system.

NBTA supports the passage of the Senate bill and inclusion of funds for upgrading the air traffic control system. Contact your Senators and Representatives and tell them to pass the FAA Reauthorization bill. Take Action Now!
