The U.S. House of Representatives today overwhelmingly approved the comprehensive, five-year FAA reauthorization bill, putting the legislation on the path for final passage and enactment in the next few months. The 393-13 vote underscored the bipartisan cooperation achieved after a previous version had been held up for months over a controversial provision to carve the air traffic control organization out of the FAA.
