Airline Groups Ask Trump to Fix FAA Funding Issues

USATuesday, December 31, 2024
A group of 30 aviation organizations has sent a letter to President-Elect Donald Trump. They want him to change how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gets its money. The FAA needs funds to upgrade and modernize its equipment and air traffic control systems. The groups are worried that past funds were used for non-aviation purposes. They suggest using the Airport and Airways Trust Fund for these upgrades. This could help fix current problems with buying and using new equipment and technology.
The groups also want the FAA to be protected as a key part of the country's infrastructure. They think this will keep the air traffic system safe and strong. The groups also want to fix staffing issues and keep the 10 million jobs in the sector. They want the Trump administration, the FAA's workforce, and Congress to work together to make these changes.
