Senate Panel Approves $17.7B for FAA Budget
The budget total matches that approved by the House Appropriations Committee in May.

The Senate transportation appropriations subcommittee today approved $17.7 billion in budgetary resources for the FAA in Fiscal Year 2019, matching the total funding signed off last month by the committee’s counterpart in the House. The budget is included in a $71.4 billion transportation, housing and urban development (THUD) appropriations bill for FY2019. Both THUD subcommittee chairman Susan Collins (R-Maine) and ranking Democrat Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island) touted the bill as a bipartisan effort that avoids “poison pills” or controversial riders.
