House To Consider Bump in FY2016 FAA Budget
The fiscal 2016 appropriations bill would continue ban on aviation user fees, but does not address Teterboro weight limit for first time in years.

The FAA is poised to receive a small funding bump in Fiscal Year 2016 under a House bill released Tuesday by the House Appropriations Committee. The transportation appropriations bill—marked up by the transportation, housing and urban development appropriations subcommittee yesterday—would provide $15.9 billion to the FAA in FY2016, $159 million more than FY2015's budget and $40 million more than the Obama Administration's request.
