Washington, D.C. – Cargo Airline Association (CAA) President Lauren Beyer issued the following statement on the introduction of the ALERT Act:
CAA appreciates the leadership Representatives Graves, Larsen, Rogers, and Smith have demonstrated in developing the bipartisan ALERT Act. This legislation reflects a thoughtful, comprehensive response to all 50 of the NTSB’s recommendations and incorporates meaningful reforms to further strengthen aviation safety across the National Airspace System (NAS).
At a time when the NAS is becoming more complex and operational demands continue to evolve, it is essential that safety policy be grounded in data, operational expertise, and collaboration. CAA and its members stand ready to work with Congress and industry partners to advance aviation safety legislation without delay.
