Statement of U.S. Sens. Warner, Kaine, Cardin, and Van Hollen on the FAA Reauthorization

Statement

Date: June 15, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Transportation Government Budget and Spending

"The three airports of the Washington metropolitan area have worked in tandem for decades to connect the nation's capital to destinations around the world while serving as centerpieces of the region's economy. We will strongly oppose any FAA reauthorization that destabilizes this tried-and-true equilibrium by expanding the number of flights or passengers into and out of National. Any such interference by Congress would disrupt the balance among the region's airports, generate longer lines and more delays at DCA, create more noise for nearby residents, and hurt local economies in both of our states."
