• Abstract:
  Since the Wright brothers’ historic flight, aviation has been a vital national resource for the United States — its strategic, economic, and social importance remains unsurpassed. Aviation is critical to our national well-being and interests. It provides invaluable opportunities for travel, for new business, for jobs, and for the general growth and development of the U.S. economy. It serves an important role in attracting investment to local communities and helps stimulate and sustain growth by opening new markets and supply chains, nationally and internationally. Thanks to the work of FAA, over the past fifty years aviation has become central to the way we live and do business, linking people from coast to coast and connecting America to the world. In fact, FAA has created the safest, most reliable, most efficient, and most productive air transportation system in the world.
