NATA Boss James K.
Coyne is praising four more Members of the US House of
Representatives for signing a letter to President Bush encouraging
the re-opening of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to
on-demand air charter operations. This latest letter adds to the
growing list of more than 60 Members of Congress that have come to
support NATA's initiative to re-open America's capital airport to
on-demand air charter operations.
The House Members that joined the letter include:
- Rep. Ernest Istook
(R-OK), Chairman, House Appropriations Subcommittee on
Transportation, Treasury and Independent Agencies
- Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), Chairman, House Committee on
Science and Member, House Committee on Transportation &
Infrastructure
- Rep. Michael Honda (D-CA), Member, House Subcommittee on
Aviation
- Rep. Marion Berry (D-AR), Member, House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Homeland Security
"We thank all four Members for their support in joining this
letter to the President," Coyne stated. "We continue to see
resounding support from all Members of the House and Senate on this
critical issue and will continue to call upon them for their
support until America's capital airport is re-opened to on-demand
air charter operations.
"As we embark upon the historic centennial of flight, we hope
that our intelligence and security officials within the federal
government will heed the advice that these letters offer,
demonstrating that this fight will continue until Ronald Reagan
Washington National Airport is open to all on-demand air charter
operations," Coyne concluded.
