Aero-News Quote of the Day

"President Obama and Congress could immediately have an impact by completing work on the pending FAA reauthorization bill. The House version of the bill, which includes a $2.50 increase in the cap on the Passenger Facility Charge, would provide airports with the ability to make needed infrastructure improvements, while creating 125,000 jobs right now without increasing the federal deficit. The bill also includes provisions that are necessary to turn NextGen into NowGen."
