Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Time after time TSA misses its deadlines and the only ones paying the price are aviation maintenance companies seeking to expand internationally. We have maintained from the beginning that mandating repair station security rules were a solution in search of a problem. TSA’s inaction after nearly a decade shows that security was never truly an issue.”

Source: A. Klein, ARSA’s Executive Vice President, following the news that the TSA once again failed to meet its deadline to finalize the repair station security rule. TSA’s inaction means the FAA still faces a moratorium on certificating foreign aviation repair stations, an issue for the industry since 2008.
