America’s aviation system and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are the world’s gold standard, and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is working to reauthorize the programs of the FAA before the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and the expiration of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 on September 30, 2023. Passing this legislation is critical to ensuring a robust and vibrant future for our aviation system and to the United States remaining the gold standard.
