Bedford stated that they wanted to ensure that the same amount of resources is being spent to certify U.S. aircraft as the U.S. is spending on certifying foreign-owned aircraft. The FAA administrator called for a “level playing field.”\nPreviously, the 43-day government shutdown also resulted in major staffing shortages, leading to flight cancellations and delays. \nAccording to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) report in January, the U.S. 6% drop in foreign visitors in 2025, even as global tourism witnessed a rise, reported Reuters. \nAnother report by the WTTC, released last week, stated that the U.S. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) requiring social media disclosure could slash visitor spend by $15.7 billion and impact 157,000 American Jobs.\nImage via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
