FAA To Get Funding Boost with Focus on Controllers, Oversight
,Congress is providing the FAA a $1.25 billion increase for $20.28B in FY'24
Washington, D.C. overview

The U.S. House of Representatives is anticipated to begin consideration today of the full Fiscal Year 2024 funding package for the first tranche of government agencies, including the Department of Transportation and along with it, a $20.28 billion budget for the FAA. House action follows approval late last week of another short-term funding extension, this time until March 8 for the first group of agencies, narrowly averting a shutdown that was set to occur on March 1.

The federal government, including the FAA, has been operating under a series of funding extensions since FY2024 began on October 1 while Congress hammered out a final compromise agreement. In addition, the FAA has been operating under a series of extensions of its authorization as Congress finalizes a long-term reauthorization bill for the agency.
