Bolen issues statement regarding the FAA funding extension

National Business Aviation Association
(NBAA) president and chief executive Ed Bolen has issued a statement regarding
action by Congress and the Obama administration to approve an extension of
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding, while Congress considers
multi-year reauthorization legislation: 

“NBAA and the business aviation community welcome the action by Congress and
the president to finalize an extension of funding for the FAA. Although we have
long said that a multi-year FAA reauthorization bill is the best way to provide
the guidance needed for long-term initiatives including implementation of a
Next Generation Air Traffic System, we also know that passage of a short-term
extension of existing funding levels puts all FAA employees back to work on
existing priorities, including many important airport maintenance and
construction projects around the country.”
