As with most major industries, U.S. civil aviation is facing uncertainty amidst the current economic crisis. The National Airspace System is an integral part of the Nation's economy and handles almost 50,000 flights per day and more than 700 million passengers annually. Aviation contributed over $1.2 trillion to the Nation's economy in 2006. As the Subcommittee is aware, FAA does not have a long-term authorization or funding mechanism in place and has been operating on a short-term extension since September. The current extension expires in March 2009. However, the aviation environment has changed significantly since Congress last debated proposals for reauthorizing and financing FAA.
