The 2024 U.S. elections have markedly changed the political environment in Washington this year, seemingly shifting focus away from sustainability onto other priorities. However, even as green initiatives have muted in the Washington dialog, progress is continuing as the conversation has turned more toward innovation and as rural and manufacturing states—along with their lawmakers—have stepped up their support.
“Every new administration brings a changing landscape, and stakeholders adjust accordingly,” said Kristie Greco Johnson, senior v-p of government affairs for NBAA. “But I think when it comes to sustainability and aviation, there's still quite a bit of energy and progress at play. We have a strong message with policymakers that these are policies that are good for American commerce, American business, American energy independence, and national security. Those messages still resonate with leadership.”
