U.S. General Aviation Groups Push for Tax Relief
Six organizations appealed to Senate leaders for relief from aviation fuel taxes, similar to relief already granted to the nation's airlines.

A half-dozen business and general aviation groups are urging U.S. Congress to extend Covid-19-prompted aviation excise tax relief for commercial operators to non-commercial operators as well. The organizations wrote a letter to Senate leaders on Wednesday, saying, “Across the country, thousands of small and midsize businesses that generate $77 billion in labor income are facing unprecedented challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and require additional relief.”
