Aviation bills loom on Capitol Hill after recess
Washington AP reports that Congress rushes to act on aviation legislation to fund airport improvements and air traffic control modernization. Missouri Senator Danforth and Kansas Senator Kassebaum lead a push for a three year 15.6 billion plan plus a House measure totaling 28.5 billion over five years, with new air traffic controllers and expanded FAA funding. The effort mirrors calls for greater transparency in airline performance and consumer protection measures as safety concerns grow after the Detroit crash.
