GBTA and a broad coalition of over 50 aviation stakeholders and organizations joined the Modern Skies Coalition in releasing a statement calling on Congress to end the shutdown.

“The aviation community stands united in calling on Congress to end the shutdown without delay. This prolonged shutdown has strained the aviation system and its dedicated workforce to unacceptable levels of stress and disruption. The American flying public deserves nothing less than a fully operational aviation system. It’s time for Congress to act decisively.”
