Washington, D.C. – Cargo Airline Association (CAA) President Lauren Beyer today issued the following statement after the Senate’s vote to reopen the federal government:
“The Cargo Airline Association appreciates the Senate’s action to reopen the federal government.
“The shutdown has slowed critical aviation functions, disrupted flight operations, and added uncertainty across the national air space.
“Reliable air cargo operations are indispensable to America’s economy and supply chains, particularly as businesses and consumers depend on timely delivery of goods and products.
“As the nation enters the busy holiday shipping and shopping season, maintaining a safe, efficient, and resilient air cargo network is more important than ever.
“We urge swift passage of the bill in the House of Representatives. This measure will bring stability back to the nation’s supply chain and transportation systems.”
