WASHINGTON /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — JetBlue Airways’ (Nasdaq: JBLU) Chief Executive Officer Dave Barger and executives representing other U.S. industries met today with President Obama to discuss his economic stimulus proposal.
“Today I was honored to represent the 11,500 crewmembers of JetBlue Airways and the U.S. aviation industry in discussions with President Obama regarding his economic stimulus proposal,” said Mr. Barger. “The aviation industry needs increased federal investment in our nation’s air traffic control infrastructure in order to best serve the traveling public and stimulate economic growth for the United States. We join the larger aviation community in seeking a significant investment, as part of the stimulus bill, to enable a Next Generation Air Traffic Control System. In addition to retaining and creating jobs, investment in NextGen would enhance capacity and energy efficiency, thereby reducing recent record delays and congestion in our nation’s busiest airports, improve the global competitiveness of U.S. airlines, and reduce the environmental impact of aircraft operations.”
