Heli-Expo 2018 attendees woke to some good news on the second day of the show yesterday, after Congress ended its most-recent effort to privatize the U.S. air traffic control (ATC) system. The Helicopter Association International (HAI) and other aviation organizations applauded the move and indicated support for the plan for a reauthorization bill that would assure longer-term funding for the FAA. “HAI stands committed to working with Congress to modernize the FAA to maintain its world-class level of service and safety,” the association said.
