"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."
