Bizav Has New ATC Battle After Elections, Leaders Say
GAMA's Bunce says the wild card will be whether the new administration will come forward with an ATC proposal.

The elections are setting the stage for a “new battle” on Capitol Hill and possibly the White House over air traffic control reform, business aviation leaders say. “There will absolutely be another proposal to separate the air traffic control system,” NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen said last week during the association’s annual convention. FAA reauthorization, which was extended only through the end of 2017, will come up for debate again next year, and Bolen noted that the airline lobby, Airlines For America (A4A), has already clearly stated its intention to push for independent ATC.
