Political and Legislative Affairs Department

NATCA is heavily involved in the political and legislative process, from influencing public policy to educating elected officials on key aviation safety matters at the federal, state and local levels.

Aviation safety is neither a Republican nor Democrat issue, and NATCA is proud to call upon an army of grassroots activists across the country to use the legislative process in assisting the organization’s efforts to make the air traffic control system safer and more efficient.

From ensuring there are enough controllers to meet the system’s future needs to preventing the privatization of the nation’s inherently governmental system, NATCA is busy with an array of important public safety issues that require legislative involvement.
