U.S. Travel: FAA System Failure Must Spur Federal Action

 Friday, January 13, 2023 

U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman issued the following statement on the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) system failure, which resulted in more than 3,000 flight delays and several hundred cancellations across the United States:

“Today’s FAA catastrophic system failure is a clear sign that America’s transportation network desperately needs significant upgrades. Americans deserve an end-to-end travel experience that is seamless and secure. And our nation’s economy depends on a best-in-class air travel system. We call on federal policymakers to modernize our vital air travel infrastructure to ensure our systems are able to meet demand safely and efficiently.”
