ACI-NA Urges Congress To Pass a ‘Clean’ FAA Extension

Association President Greg Principato Sends A Letter To House And Senate Leaders

Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) President Greg Principato (pictured)  has again urged the congressional leadership on the transportation committee in both chambers to pass a “clean” extension of the FAA operating authority.

In his letters released to the media Thursday, Principato stressed that the airport industry is deeply concerned as we are now on the sixth day of the FAA shutdown and stop work orders across the country have left construction sites empty. “The longer the delay continues, the greater the number of airport construction projects delayed. And the longer we are prevented from creating much needed jobs in our communities.”

Principato’s letter went on to emphasize that the flying public has paid into the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF) to ensure the national aviation infrastructure is maintained in good condition. “This will have long-term financial implications for the airport industry and the AATF, putting future investment in our nation’s aviation infrastructure at risk.”

“We urge you to please pass a clean extension of the FAA to ensure the system keeps operating while you work out the remaining policy differences between the House and Senate versions of the FAA reauthorization bill,” Principato continued.
