U.S. FAA Funding Bill Moves Forward in House
Bill would provide a slight funding boost for the FAA, but does not address air traffic control privatization.

A U.S. House appropriations subcommittee approved a $16.3 billion Fiscal Year 2017 budget for the FAA, providing a slight increase over the current fiscal year and offering $450 million more than requested by the White House. The transportation, housing and urban development’s proposed FY2017 appropriations bill, however, would curb the FAA’s budget over the $16.4 billion Senate recommendation. Also, unlike the Senate bill, the initial House language does not address air traffic control privatization efforts.
