Six associations representing the general aviation industry have issued a statement strongly opposing the Trump Administration for including in its government reorganization proposal a failed idea to privatize the FAA's air traffic control services.
“There is a large and diverse chorus of opposition to the idea of privatizing our air traffic control system, including congressional leaders from both political parties, more than 100 aviation organizations, over 100 business leaders, 100 U.S. mayors, consumer and agricultural groups, conservative think tanks, and the majority of Americans. Additionally, this concept has been fully considered in the U.S. Congress and rejected despite years of repeated attempts,” said the letter signed by GAMA, NBAA, AOPA, EAA, HAI and NATA...
