American Airlines Commends Congress for Passing Extension to FAA Authorization
July 13 2016 - 2:43PM
American Airlines today issued the following statement on the
passage of legislation that will extend the authorization of the
Federal Aviation Administration charter through September 2017.
“American Airlines commends Congress for passing an extension to
the current FAA bill and ensuring our nation’s air transportation
continues without interruption,” said American’s Chairman and CEO
Doug Parker. “We thank Chairman Shuster, Ranking Member DeFazio,
Chairman Thune and Ranking Member Nelson for their leadership in
reaching this extension.
“American remains steadfast in the belief that the best way
forward is a fundamental change to the way the FAA and the U.S. air
traffic control system are structured and we are committed to
working with Congress to achieve that goal. A reformed and
modernized ATC system would bring U.S. aviation back to the
forefront of innovation and technology, reduce delays and
operational costs, and enable airlines to provide more reliable
service to our customers.”
