In a hearing before the Senate commerce committee on Tuesday, May 19, Ed Bolen, president of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) strongly opposed the creation of a private entity responsible for Air Traffic Control (ATC) while Airlines for America (A4A) Chairman and United Airlines President and CEO Jeff Smisek expressed support for the change.<\/p>\n<p>Smisek believes the FAA should retain its current role as a safety regulator, providing certification of airplanes and ensuring safety of air transportation operations. However, A4A \u2014 with the exception of member carrier Delta Airlines, which does not support a private ANSP \u2014 is asking lawmakers to consider separating the ATC operations and safety regulation functions of the FAA and to create a new user-fee funded non-profit corporation with an independent, multi-stakeholder board of governance free from political influence over decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Read more from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aviationtoday.com\/av\/commercial\/Aviation-Groups-Express-Support-Opposition-to-ATC-Reform_85072.html#.VWRzAFxVhBd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avionics Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As lawmakers consider a major change to the current structure of the FAA as both a safety regulator and Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), representatives of commercial airlines and business aviation operators are divided on how to move forward.
