Airlines for America Applauds Homeland Committee Advancing Bipartisan Efforts to Modernize TSA for the Traveling Public – Airlines For America

The following is attributable to Airlines for America (A4A) following the House Homeland Security Committee’s markup in the present day:

Airlines for America is grateful to Chairman Garbarino and Ranking Member Thompson for his or her bipartisan dedication to modernize TSA and enhance aviation safety. Today’s markup displays significant progress towards strengthening passenger and baggage screening capabilities, supporting revolutionary safety and facilitation applications, increasing alternatives for public-private partnerships and bettering the journey expertise for households, service members and vacationers throughout the nation.

A4A welcomes the Committee’s motion on the SAFEGUARDS Act, the Improving Travel for American Families Act, the Improving Travel for Military Members Act, the Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act and the One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act. Collectively, these bipartisan payments help long-term and overdue investments in aviation safety, develop entry to extra streamlined and environment friendly screening choices, lengthen profitable pilot applications and guarantee TSA has the instruments and partnerships wanted to satisfy record-breaking journey demand forward of the 2028 Olympics.

We respect the Committee’s continued management and sit up for working with Congress and TSA to advance insurance policies that improve safety, effectivity and the general journey expertise for the flying public.
