WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation announces the rescheduling of an Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security Subcommittee hearing on The Outlook for Summer Air Travel: Addressing Congestion and Delay. The hearing has been rescheduled for July 15, 2008, at 10:00 a.m.
The combination of high demand and poor weather, in addition to an air traffic control system that lacks the necessary capacity to handle air traffic effectively, makes the summer months notorious for delay and congestion throughout the National Airspace System (NAS). This hearing will examine the growing problem of congestion and delay in the NAS and steps the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airlines are taking to address it. Senator Rockefeller will preside.
The Outlook for Summer Air Travel: Addressing Congestion and Delay Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security Subcommittee Date: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 Time: 10:00 a.m. Location: Room 253, Russell Senate Office Building ###
