GAMA on Social Media

Next week, we will continue voicing our opposition to legislation that attempts to privatize the U.S. air traffic control system at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

On Monday, July 24, GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce will join other general aviation leaders at a town hall meeting to discuss the importance of fighting H.R. 2997, a House of Representatives bill with language proposing to take oversight of the U.S. air traffic control system from the public’s elected representatives and put it in the hands of a small board of private interests.

“I encourage Oshkosh attendees to come to the town hall and learn why it’s critical for everyone to contact their representatives in Congress and urge them to oppose H.R. 2997,” said Bunce. “Over half of the 70,000 flights per day in the U.S. system are general aviation flights, and the proposal in this bill will not protect airspace access and air traffic service for the industry.”

AOPA: your freedom to fly President Mark Baker, EAA - The Spirit of Aviation CEO Jack Pelton and NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen will join Bunce at 11:30 a.m. local time at Theater in the Woods to discuss the legislation and answer questions from show attendees.

In addition to the town hall, GAMA will have mobile devices available at its tent, 299 in the Main Aircraft Display, so visitors can send a letter of opposition to their representative in Congress. GAMA staff will also be on hand to discuss this critical issue and answer questions.

No other country that has removed air traffic control operations from the government oversight and transitioned that role to a private entity has an airspace system close to the size or complexity of the U.S. system, or diversity or volume of its users.
