WASHINGTON, DC—With the 4th of July holiday around the corner, more than 3.4 million Americans are expected to take to the skies to arrive on time for their Independence Day celebration.
It won’t be turbulence-free for all, however. Congestion and delays for such a large surge in traffic are nearly inevitable, with many passengers left holed away in crowded, outdated airports.
To some extent, Congress can address these problems in its authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which committees in both chambers will consider this week.
