Bizav Groups Voice Opposition to Privatized U.S. ATC
The groups are stepping up opposition as the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee plans to release the proposal early next year.

Business aviation groups are stepping up their opposition to a proposal to create a user-funded independent organization to run the U.S. air traffic control system. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) intends to make such a proposal the centerpiece of his comprehensive FAA reauthorization bill that is expected to be released early next year. Airlines for America, which strongly endorses the concept, recently rolled out the chief executives of six U.S. airlines (on December 1) to argue their case for an independent ATC organization.
