UPS Applauds Senate Passage of Aviation Legislation, Urges Quick Final Enactment

The Senate's passage of legislation that funds critical Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs is a major step toward bringing the U.S. air traffic control system into the 21st century, the chairman and CEO of UPS, Washington, said today.

"It is rare that one piece of legislation accomplishes as much as this bill does for both our nation's economy and American shippers and travelers," said CEO Scott Davis, noting the measure provides funding to modernize the nation's airport infrastructure, create needed U.S. jobs and ensure aviation safety.
