House Committee Hearing To Focus On Modernizing Nation’s Airspace

Full Transportation Committee Plans Hearing Tuesday

The Full Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure will hold a hearing Tuesday focused on preparing the next reauthorization of the FAA and the modernization and operation of the U.S. airspace.

The hearing, entitled “FAA Reauthorization: Issues in Modernizing and Operating the Nation’s Airspace,” is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 in 2167 Rayburn House Office Building.
 
This airspace is the largest in the world, covering roughly 30.2 million square miles, or more than 17 percent of the world’s airspace.  As the demands of the Nation’s complex air traffic system have changed and grown over time, attempts have been made to address issues that have hindered the modernization and operation of the U.S. airspace.

The following people have been invited to testify before the committee: 

  • The Honorable Calvin Scovel, III, Inspector General, Department of Transportation
  • Mr. Nicholas Calio, President and CEO, Airlines for America
  • Mr. Mark Baker, President and CEO, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
  • Captain Lee Moak, President, Air Line Pilots Association
  • The Honorable John Engler, President, Business Roundtable
  • Mr. Paul Rinaldi, President, National Air Traffic Controllers Association

The current FAA law expires at the end of September 2015, and as the Committee continues to develop the next reauthorization of the agency and its programs, air space and air traffic control modernization is an area of focus.
