The leadership of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (T&I) and aviation subcommittee unveiled their nearly 800-page FAA reauthorization package today, addressing further FAA reforms, enhanced aviation safety, general aviation, workforce growth, and airport infrastructure support, among other issues.

Congress is facing a September 30 deadline to complete work on a reauthorization package before the current FAA operating authority expires.
