House Passes FAA, EAS Reauthorization with Stefanik Initiatives Included

Press Release

Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) voted in support of H.R. 4 -- the FAA Reauthorization Act. This bipartisan legislation reauthorizes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) for five years.

"This reauthorization and infrastructure package is critical to the safety of air traffic and to the development of our airports," said Congresswoman Stefanik. "I was pleased that two of my initiatives were included to protect America's international air carriers from unfair business practices and to promote more opportunity for women in the aviation industry. This bill also reauthorizes the Essential Air Service, which is critical to maintaining commercial air service for small, rural airports in our district. The economic success of our region is closely tied to the health of our local airports and air service, and I am pleased to support this bipartisan, five-year reauthorization today."

This legislation passed the House by a vote of 393-13.
