Aviation groups lauded the agreement between House and Senate negotiators on a five-year FAA reauthorization bill. Announced yesterday by the leaders of the Senate Commerce Committee and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the bill is anticipated to be taken up by the Senate this week, followed by the House of Representatives. Lawmakers have until May 10 to approve the bill before the latest extension on the FAA’s authorization expires.

NBAA noted that the comprehensive bill includes many provisions supported by the association, including an expansion of workforce development programs, improvements to aviation safety, funding for community airports, and sustainability support.
