Looming partial FAA shutdown could lower airline ticket prices – for now

By Carter Yang:  “Because the FAA’s current funding is set to expire at the end of today and Congress hasn’t approved new funding legislation, starting on Saturday, the FAA will have to stop collecting $200 million a week in airline ticket taxes, work on $2.5 billion worth of airport construction projects will be halted, and some 4,000 FAA employees will be furloughed until a new FAA funding bill is passed. Airports, however, will remain open and no flights will be cancelled as a result”. Read more at: CBS.
