Comentários da GBTA sobre a Audiência de Reautorização da FAA

Alexandria, VA (June 8, 2017) – The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a hearing today, Building a 21st Century Infrastructure for America: Federal Aviation Administration Authorization.

GBTA is pleased to hear Secretary Chao’s commitment to including all stakeholders, including members of the traveling public, in the governance of a not-for-profit corporation to oversee air traffic control as outlined in the President’s proposal.

Corporations send their travelers on more than 40 million trips a month – most of which include air travel. Air travel is vital to business travel, and therefore, vital to the U.S. economy.

“In theory, the President’s proposal has many merits and is worth consideration,” said Michael W. McCormick, GBTA Executive Director and COO. “Too often, an important constituency, the business traveler – a driving economic force – is not included in policy that depends on their dollars in terms of user fees, taxes and indirect costs. We look forward to working with the Committee and the Administration as they continue their work on authorization of the FAA.”
