House Democrats Warn of ATC Transformation Pitfalls
Larsen wary that push for transformation could lead to lengthy delays in reauthorization.

A key lawmaker is warning that FAA reauthorization is facing another series of delays and extensions if Capitol Hill attempts to tackle significant air traffic organization (ATO) reform without consensus. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), the ranking Democrat on the House aviation subcommittee, said during a hearing on FAA air traffic reform today, “There are many issues to address with ATO reform, and I do not think any of our witnesses will tell us today that the diverse interests in the industry are coalescing around a single proposal.”
