The House aviation subcommittee on Thursday ratcheted up the pressure on the Senate to move on a long-term FAA reauthorization bill, holding a hearing on the consequences of delaying action.

“It is absolutely critical that the United States Senate move forward to pass this reauthorization. Without a full reauthorization of the FAA, safety is at risk, and American leadership in aviation technology and innovation is at risk,” maintained aviation subcommittee Chair Garret Graves (R-Louisiana). “This agency cannot continue to remain in limbo on a number of key issues that require decisions, law changes, and organizational reforms. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of moving this bill forward, especially where safety is concerned.”
