In a Notice of Extension of Aviation Insurance published in the Federal Register today, the FAA states that it will continue to pay for war risk insurance for U.S. Flag air carriers through December 31 of this year. The FAA was originally reviewing/renewing the war risk insurance on a 60 day basis, but Presidential Order 2004-13 issued on December 11, 2003 delegated authority to it to grant extensions through August 31, 2004 and now, through the end of this year.
