CEOs of top airlines demand Congress restore funding to Homeland Security and pay airport workers - AP News
Overview
The CEOs of the nation’s top airlines urged Congress to restore DHS funding and approve a bipartisan plan to pay federal aviation workers, citing unpaid TSA staff and rising absences while carriers also raise fees to shore up revenue. Those appeals reflect industry concern about immediate staffing and security risks. The DOT’s $12.5 billion commitment to modernize air traffic control, coupled with its request for additional funds for software and AI, reinforces airline leaders’ calls for stable federal support to prevent disruptions and enable critical technology upgrades.
