Vacant, foreclosed, and abandoned property has been a serious problem for communities around Ohio and certainly across the country.

Do you agree a sensible stepping stone to NextGen would be to promptly adopt policies and procedures, specifically performance based navigation procedures, which would enable airlines to fully utilize the advanced avionics already on these…

The cost of jet fuel is now the airline industry's largest operating cost with the average cost of a gallon of jet fuel up by 260 percent since 2000.
