Advocates Urge Senate to Prioritize Consumers in the FAA Reauthorization

The House and Senate introduced bill language for the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2023, poised to shape air travel policy and regulation for the next five years. After catastrophic airline meltdowns, record-setting cancellations and delays, and a $54 billion bailout for airlines, Congress failed to take advantage of this opportunity to introduce legislation in the Reauthorization proposals to bring relief to travelers. Advocates urge the Senate Commerce Committee in this letter to adopt commonsense amendments to the FAA Reauthorization language which would hold airlines accountable and protect the interests of consumers.
