NY Times #13

Airports, are the only aspect of air travel that has improved markedly over the last decade. On Monday, at the annual conference of domestic airport executives, they are worried about uncertain federal aid. The long-delayed FFA bill remains in Congress as lawmakers argue about how much money to cut. Catherine Lang, the F.A.A.’s deputy associate administrator for airports, said she worried about the “half-built runway projects and half-built terminals". The airlines are making increasing demands as airports try to keep up. Most Americans don’t have the same positive feelings about airlines as we do about airports. Many Americans stopped air travel due to heavy fees for checked bags and deteriorating customer service.Airlines are also raising extra revenue by adding charges for some coach seats that used to be assigned free.
