National aviation associations, including the National\nAir Transportation Association (NATA) and the General Aviation Manufacturers\nAssociation (GAMA), expressed their congratulations to the new leaders of the\nU.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure,\nChairman Sam Graves (R-MO) and Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor many years, NATA has enjoyed close working\nrelationships with Reps. Sam Graves and Rick Larsen to ensure the continued\nsafety and success of aviation businesses,\u201d stated Curt Castagna, President\n& Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThe wealth of industry knowledge and policy\nexpertise that both Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Larsen bring to their\nnew leadership roles on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee will\nbe invaluable to NATA\u2019s membership as the 118th Congress works on legislation\nto reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
GAMA President and CEO, Pete Bunce said \u201cOn behalf of the\nentire GAMA membership, I congratulate Chairman Graves and Ranking Member\nLarsen. We look forward to working with these leaders, each of whom have been\nproponents of a safe, strong and growing aviation industry.\u201d The committee has\na rich history of working across the aisle in a bipartisan manner and Bunce\nsaid they appreciate their stated commitment to continuing that approach\nespecially given the need to reauthorize the FAA. \u201cThere are several important\naviation-related issues that will need to be addressed in the 118th Congress,\nincluding work on key policy areas like safety; the FAA and industry workforce;\ninnovation; aircraft certification and validation; the environment; and the\nrulemaking, policy and guidance process. This is a transformative time for\ngeneral aviation manufacturers and the industry overall and we are excited to\nhave this leadership team in place to work within the House T&I Committee\nand Congress to plot and navigate the industry\u2019s future path,\u201d concluded Bunce.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
