City Government/Municipal Government - Washington, N/A, US
Formed in 2007, the Alliance for Aviation Across America is a non-profit, non-partisan coalition of over 4,400 individuals representing businesses, agricultural groups, FBO's, small airports, elected officials, charitable organizations, and leading business and aviation groups that support the interest of the general aviation community across various public policy issues. Our goal is to protect the economic lifeline general aviation provides to rural and small communities to support their businesses, medical care facilities, disaster relief and basic transportation for residents living in isolated areas. We Support: Modernizing the Air Traffic Control System with Satellite Technology The Alliance for Aviation Across America supports transitioning to the Next Generation Air Transportation System that is satellite-based rather than today's ground-based navigation system. Rejecting "User Fees" in any Form User fees would impose an unfair regulatory and financial burden on the millions of Americans who depend on small planes for their livelihood, and have the potential to ground small aircraft. AAAA opposes this tax structure and supports the current "pay at the pump" fuel tax system, as it is the simplest, most efficient way to pay into the Airport and Airways Trust Fund. Opposing Unworkable and Counterproductive Provisions of TSA's "Large Aircraft Security Program" (LASP) Everyone wants America to be safe. However the "Large Aircraft Security Program" proposed by the TSA would create huge financial and operational burdens for general aviation, while not making us any safer. General aviation has been at the forefront of developing security regulations that will be effective, efficient, and help to keep America safe. Supporting Rural America through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Essential Air Service (EAS). AIP - Small towns and rural communities depend on their small airports for ready access to reliable air transportation. The Alliance for Aviation Across America encourages investment in our aviation infrastructure by supporting the Airport Improvement Program, which helps to provide upgrades, renovation, and improvements to small airports. These projects boost local economies, create jobs, and ensure the viability of small communities. EAS - Because commercial air service is critical to many small and mid-sized cities, the Alliance supports funding for the Essential Air Service program. The average distance from these EAS cities to the nearest available commercial hub is 189 miles, andEAS guarantees scheduled commercial service to well over 100 communities that would otherwise have no access to these flights.
