Former FAA Chief Urges Congress to Pass Long-Term Reauthorization for Aviation's Future

Former FAA Administrator Steve Dickson is calling for the swift passage of a long-term FAA reauthorization bill to secure America's leadership in aviation. He argues that modernizing the nation's air traffic control system is critical for safely integrating future technologies. The legislation must address workforce shortages and create a clear path for advanced air mobility (AAM), drones, and sustainable aviation fuels. Dickson warns that short-term extensions or inaction risk ceding the U.S.'s competitive edge in the global aerospace market.
