Senate Approves $17.7B FAA Budget for FY2020
The Senate bills must still be reconciled with the House bill.

The U.S. Senate cleared a $17.7 billion budget for the FAA in Fiscal Year 2020 as part of an overarching “minibus” multi-agency funding bill. Passed 84-9 late last week, the minibus consolidated four separate appropriations bills, including that for the Department of Transportation. However, this and other funding bills must be reconciled with House bills. With the government operating under a temporary funding measure that is set to expire November 21, the possibility of another stopgap funding bill might be necessary to provide time for the two chambers to hash out the differences in their respective funding bills.
