The document discusses the need for aviation policy reform in the United States. It argues that for the first time in 25 years, there is political support in Washington for changing how the aviation system is organized, funded, and delivers services and infrastructure. It states that key proposals include removing major FAA programs from the federal budget, changing the governance model of air traffic control to separate it from the FAA, and shifting to a cost-recovery system that eliminates ticket taxes. The article claims that historic aviation reform is possible now due to unmet promises, broken policies, and consensus among stakeholders that the current system needs improvement.
