Citizens for On Time Flights has announced that 17 members of the New Jersey State Legislature, nine mayors and ten business associations — including four chambers of commerce — have written letters to US Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representatives Rodney P. Frelinghuysen (NJ-11) and Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) to declare their support for reforms to modernize the nation´s outdated and inefficient air traffic control (ATC) system, the group said.
Elected officials from both sides of the aisle support a bipartisan proposal before Congress that would restructure the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and move oversight of ATC operations to a federally chartered, independent, non-profit organization that includes all aviation stakeholders.
The FAA would continue to ensure the safety of all fliers.
