The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently called on Congress
to transform and strengthen the nation’s aviation
control system, which includes specific modernization
initiatives and the funding needed to support them, as
well as time frames for the FAA and other aviation stakeholders.
“The nation’s economy demands a safe, secure,
and efficient aviation system,” said Janet Kavinoky,
director of transportation infrastructure at the chamber. “The
FAA proposal is a starting point for discussion on how
to accelerate the modernization of America’s air
traffic control system.”
More than 1 in 5 commercial flights on major airlines
last year were delayed due, in part, to an overburdened
and outdated aviation system, the chamber asserts.
Although aviation stakeholders are divided on how to
finance a next generation aviation system, they agree
that the Airport and Airway Trust Fund should be better
managed, that dedicated aviation funds should be used
only for authorized aviation purposes, and that the federal
review and approval processes for new projects should
be streamlined, according to the chamber.
“We need to create a vision of a 21st century
aviation system and define our needs before we begin
the debate over how to pay for it,” Kavinoky added.
