Senate Commerce Leaders Urge House FAA Action
|
|
Last week, the leadership of the Senate Commerce Committee wrote to their House Transportation Committee counterparts urging action either on the Senate’s recently approved, bipartisan FAA Reauthorization legislation, or on a House proposal that does not contain the controversial provision to create an air traffic control corporation. The FAA’s current authorization expires July 15th. Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune (R-SD) and Ranking Member Bill Nelson (D-FL) emphasized that there is not enough consensus in the Senate on the idea of separating air traffic control from the FAA, concluding that the Senate bill “provides the only viable opportunity this year to deliver a bill to the President.”

Last week, PAZOS FBO Services announced details of the company’s multi-million-dollar expansion slated to begin operations during the fall at the strategic Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (LMM) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The airport currently serves more than 135,000 operations and moves more than nine million passengers annually. PAZOS’ new 12,500 square feet building will increase staff size by almost 30% and will more than double their existing operation, including a sizeable extension of hangar facilities and aircraft parking. The expansion also includes the opening of a full service U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) terminal within the new FBO building. “PAZOS joined the Air Elite Network as one of the first Caribbean locations and has been one of the network’s clear leaders in growth and development in the region. These new enhancements will no doubt enhance the Air Elite diamond service experience for customers when traveling within the network,” said Steve Drzymalla, World Fuel Services’ Vice President, Business Aviation Bulk Fuel.
