AAAE: Trump Administration Releases FY 2019 Budget Proposal

12-Feb-2018 The Trump Administration today unveiled its FY 2019 budget proposal that seeks to cut discretionary funding across most of the federal government. Of concern to airports, the proposal seeks to eliminate the TSA law enforcement officer reimbursement program, undo the federal mandate that TSA staff airport exit lanes and reduce funding for the Essential Air Service program. And, despite continued efforts by the airport community to press for infrastructure investment self-help by eliminating the federal PFC cap, the budget misses an opportunity to make any PFC-related adjustment.
