Asks Government Leaders To Remove Restrictions To Airport
Funding
Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) President
Greg Principato has written to President Barack Obama, Vice
President Joseph Biden, and the bipartisan congressional
leadership, urging them to remove the federal government’s
restrictions on airport funding, facilitating critical aviation
infrastructure development and job creation in a way that meets the
demands from both liberal and conservative lawmakers.

In his letters, Principato stressed that, “By removing the
federal government from regulating how local communities and their
airports generate resources for investment in aviation
infrastructure, you can do the right thing for the economy and for
our nation, while also pursuing a course that is good politics all
the way around.”
Principato’s letter went on to emphasize that allowing
airports more financial freedom makes great sense given the need to
reduce federal spending and federal involvement in local decisions
in the midst of unprecedented debt and deficit issues, the effects
of a lack of investment in the nation’s infrastructure, and
high unemployment.
Principato also expressed ACI-NA’s commitment to working
with the White House and Congress to ensure infrastructure
investment; economic growth and job creation are realized by
modernizing the way U.S. airports are regulated, reducing
Washington’s role and giving local communities power over
their economic future.
