Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Troy E. Nehls and Representative Sharice Davids have issued a joint statement after the third session of the bipartisan Air Traffic Control (ATC) and National Airspace System (NAS) Modernization Working Group. The session included discussions with stakeholders from various sectors of aviation.

“Today marks the third session of the bipartisan ATC/NAS Modernization Working Group. We had a successful conversation with stakeholders who represent those on the frontlines of everyday aviation operations and those who represent the men and women responsible for transporting people, goods, and services across the country and beyond.

“The individuals we spoke with today provided first-hand insight into how our ATC and NAS systems affect airlines and pilots’ duties and how we, as Congress, can make improvements to make their jobs safer and more efficient.

“From meeting with technology manufacturers to telecommunications providers and other relevant stakeholders, we are fostering an open dialogue that allows industry professionals and Members of Congress to share their perspectives to help guide the revitalization of both our ATC and NAS systems.”

Troy Nehls has represented Texas' 22nd Congressional District since winning his first election in 2020 against Sri Preston Kulkarni. He secured re-election in 2022 by defeating Jamie Jordan, and again in 2024 against Marquette Greene-Scott.
