FAA Warns House GOP Spending Cuts Could Have Devastating Impact on U.S. Air System
🛬 FAA Warns House GOP Spending Cuts Could Have Devastating Impact on U.S. Air System.
Proposed cuts to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by House Republicans would result in a significant exacerbation of an existing shortage of air-traffic controllers, leading to furloughs, the halting of hiring and training, and the cessation of work on air-traffic computer systems, warns FAA Acting Administrator Billy Nolen. The situation would “wreak havoc on summer air travel,” Nolen said in a letter to lawmakers. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called the proposed FAA budget cuts “perfectly backward” and stated that the agency is trying to upgrade critical infrastructure while ramping up hiring.
