The House just reauthorized the FAA, which includes our push for 5 additional roundtrip flights from DCA.
MORE travel options, LOWER ticket prices, and GREATER access to our nation's capital are on the horizon for every Utahn and American to see their government at work.

I rise today in strong support for the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
This bill, negotiated by Chair @SenatorCantwell and myself with the leadership of the House Transportation & Infrastructure and Science committees, is a bicameral and bipartisan accomplishment.
I am especially proud of the numerous provisions that make for a safer and more convenient travel experience for Texans, consumers across the nation, and the provisions that will help grow Texas’s thriving aerospace sector.
This comprehensive bill bolsters the FAA at a time when the agency needs support.

San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the country. It has a joint base and has enormous numbers of military personnel, yet it does NOT have a direct nonstop flight to Reagan National Airport because of outdated, crony regulations
That's ridiculous. It's time to change that

Leading Conservatives agree: expand flights in and out of @Reagan_Airport. More competition means lower ticket prices.

SAT to DCA Now: Washington D.C. is the San Antonio region’s top underserved domestic market for air service. Bridging this gap in service will serve San Antonians who live here today and those we will seek to attract in the future. hubs.li/Q021DbsZ0

“Next time you come to San Antonio, explain that to the men and women in uniform serving their country who can't take a flight to [DCA], because you guys got something in 1966 and now it's a protectionist racket to hold on to something for yourselves.” -Rep. Roy

Modernizing the antiquated federal perimeter rule doesn't benefit one airport, one airline, or any one member of Congress – it increases travel options, lowers ticket prices, and makes travel to Washington, D.C., more convenient for Americans.

The Owens Amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill adds 7 additional roundtrip flights from DCA.
This means cheaper airfare, more options, and an open door to Washington, DC for every American to see their government at work.

United and American Airlines blocking more flights at Reagan airport. Their goal: restrict competition. Keep ticket prices high. Bad for DC and VA. Bad for consumers.
Congress: Free the skies.

On July 4th, we saw increase of air travel by 11.2% since last year. It is time to expand access to and from D.C. for SFV residents. That’s why we urge @SenAlexPadilla support the DCA Act to increase access and affordable travel to our nation’s capital @USCapitalAccess
