Aero-News Quote of the Day

“I am strongly opposed to the FAA’s plan to target air traffic control towers across the country, including the 189 towers that are included in the Contract Tower Program, and today joined the entire Kansas delegation expressing my concern to Secretary LaHood and FAA Administrator Huerta. I am taking this fight a step further by introducing an amendment to the CR to protect these contract towers. I am committed to aviation in rural America and know firsthand the importance of maintaining commercial air service in communities across Kansas. I am also frustrated that the Administration has decided to once again play politics that could negatively impact our state’s economic future.” Source: Kansas Republican Senator Jerry Moran, in a news release announcing his intention to offer an amendment to the Continuing Budget Resolution to preserve the Contract Tower Program.
