Airlines for America Congratulates Kristi Noem on Senate Confirmation to be Secretary of Homeland Security

"A4A congratulates Kristi Noem on her confirmation to be secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Airlines work very closely with DHS, and A4A has every confidence that our partnership will continue to flourish under the Trump Administration and the leadership of Governor Noem as secretary. Our collaboration with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are critical to ensuring the safety and security of millions of passengers and thousands of tons of cargo each day.

"We especially appreciate Governor Noem's attention to cybersecurity as the airline industry drives innovation through constant investment in new technologies and services. We believe industry's contributions lead to better security and facilitation outcomes.

"Governor Noem has solid leadership experience both in Congress and in her home state of South Dakota. We look forward to working closely with her, DHS, TSA and CBP to meet future passenger travel and cargo transportation demands and to help ensure the necessary staffing levels at airport checkpoints and major ports of entry are preserved."
