General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) president and CEO, James Viola, issued the following statement regarding the aviation-related provisions included in the budget reconciliation bill which has been passed by both bodies of the U.S. Congress:
“GAMA appreciates the hard work that was put forth by Congress in the budget reconciliation package to grow and strengthen aviation manufacturing leadership and the overall aviation ecosystem. While more investment is needed, this bill provides a much-needed downpayment for modernizing the U.S. air traffic control system. It also provides tax incentives that allow for general aviation manufacturers to further champion innovation and safety, support jobs and spur economic growth. These tax incentives provide a catalyst for U.S. aerospace manufacturers to continue to lead on a global scale and contribute to our industry’s positive trade balance.”
This press release was prepared and distributed by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.
