Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement commending the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) decision to allow 1,721 additional Grand Canyon flights per year utilizing quiet technology:

"I was thrilled to learn that the FAA has allowed additional quiet flights over the Grand Canyon. This commonsense decision will create good-paying jobs and boost economic activity in an extremely rural area.

"By recognizing quiet flight technology improvements, the FAA has given us an example of a federal agency using evidence-based decision-making. Now, more of Arizona's visitors get to experience the beauty of this natural treasure through unique aerial tours. As a result of the FAA's decision, we are accomplishing two important goals: keeping noise in the Canyon to a minimum while growing this critical sector of our economy."
