The Aviation Reauthorization Act authorized approximately $100 million for general aviation relief to compensate aviation businesses for the losses they sustained due to the government’s actions post 9/11. Unfortunately, the 2004 Omnibus Appropriations Bill passed last week did not include funding for the promised relief. General aviation will have to wait until Fiscal Year 2005 for Congressional funding. Hopefully at that time general aviation will be given the attention it deserves and the commitments previously made to general aviation businesses will be fulfilled.
