Cantwell, Cruz, Duckworth, Moran Introduce Bipartisan FAA Reauthorization
Press Release
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
"When we fly we expect to get where we're going, safely, at a reasonable cost. But with mass flight cancellations, runway near-misses, and skyrocketing prices, Americans are getting frustrated. The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act will help get the air travel system soaring again by improving safety and service. The bill provides funding for the latest safety technology on runways, and to hire more air traffic controllers, pilots, and mechanics. The bill also sets the first-ever clear ticket refund standards for delayed flights and will penalize airlines that sell tickets on flights that they don't have the staff or technology to operate. I look forward to moving the legislation through the Committee."
