The U.S. has brought its largest-ever congressional delegation—10 senators and 13 House representatives— to the Paris Airshow to demonstrate the country’s leadership in aerospace. Along with more than 400 exhibiting companies, the U.S. presence also includes federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Department of Commerce, as well as state-level economic development branches.

During a media briefing with the delegation on Monday morning at the Aerospace Industries Association chalet, Senate commerce aviation subcommittee ranking member Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) commented on the magnitude of the U.S. presence. He stressed that the group is “bipartisan and bicameral” and aims to show that the U.S. can “compete and innovate with the rest of the world,” calling the country the “gold standard in aviation and aerospace.”
