ARSA Cautions Clinton on Aviation Exports

Legislation pending on Capitol Hill threatens to undermine the global competitiveness of the U.S. aerospace industry, according to a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by the Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA). The association’s executive vice president, Christian Klein, warned that proposed language in the FAA reauthorization bill will obstruct aviation maintenance exports and hinder the ability of U.S. companies to compete internationally.
Klein praised the Obama administration’s commitment to strengthening the U.S. economy through the National Export Initiative but said the pending legislation
is contrary to that effort.
