“Airlines are a driver of economic growth, contributing more than $1.1 trillion in value to the economy and creating more than 10 million jobs,” said United Airlines Chair, President and CEO Glenn F. Tilton after being elected chair of the ATA Board of Directors. “With a modernized air traffic control system, we can deliver better financial, operational and environmental results to the benefit of our customers, our employees, our stakeholders and the communities we serve.” The outspoken industry exec will carry the airline industry's banner as FAA reauthorization is considered for the third time by Congress.
