FAA gets another extension as Congress irons out long-term bill
With the latest FAA reauthorization extension set to expire March 31, the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee passed a bill on March 16

With the latest FAA reauthorization extension set to expire March 31, the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee passed a bill on March 16 that would extend aviation programs and excise taxes through May 31. That two-month extension would give lawmakers time to complete action on a multi-year FAA reauthorization bill.

The full T&I Committee approved a four-year FAA reauthorization in February, but the full House has yet to vote on the measure. In the upper chamber, the entire Senate passed its two-year FAA reauthorization bill, also in February.
