Modern Skies Coalition Urges Congress to Shield the Aviation Ecosystem from Government Shutdowns WASHINGTON, November 19, 2025 – Today, a broad coalition of aviation stakeholders released the statement below: “As members of the Modern Skies Coalition, we urge Congress to ensure that our nation’s aviation system and those who rely upon it are never subjected to another government shutdown. Travelers, shippers and other users of the system pay nearly $24 billion in taxes and fees every year for aviation operations, including air traffic control services, safety and security, and they deserve uninterrupted delivery of those services. Our Coalition supports legislation that preserves the safety and operational integrity of the aviation ecosystem by protecting federal aviation workers and infrastructure. This includes ensuring that air traffic controllers, technicians, safety inspectors and certification personnel, TSA agents and CBP officers are compensated without interruption during a shutdown by drawing on monies already paid into the system by the users. We strongly support Chairman Moran’s bill (and the House companion bills introduced by Representatives Cohen and Bean) to shield the FAA from funding lapses by allowing the agency to draw from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund during a shutdown. We also strongly support the bill introduced by Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Larsen which would draw on monies paid by aviation users to continue critical FAA functions. There is no reason aviation should be subjected to shutdowns that result from Washington’s inability to come to consensus on funding bills. Enough is enough. The time for this common sense and critical legislation is now.” Aeronautical Repair Station Association Affordable Skies Airbus Airline Passenger Experience Association Air Line Pilots Association, International Air Medical Operators Association Air Traffic Control Association Aircraft Electronics Association Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Airlines for America Airports Council International – North America Allied Pilots Association Alpha Eta Rho American Association of Airport Executives American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics American Society of Travel Advisors Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International Association of Air Medical Services Association of Flight Attendants-CWA Association of Professional Flight Attendants Association of Value Airlines Aviation Technical Education Council Cargo Airline Association Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations Experimental Aircraft Association GE Aerospace General Aviation Manufacturers Association Global Business Travel Association International Aircraft Dealers Association International Air Transport Association International Council of Air Shows International Flight Services Association National Air Carrier Association National Air Traffic Controllers Association National Air Transportation Association National Association of State Aviation Officials National Business Aviation Association NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, AFL-CIO RTCA Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association Recreational Aviation Foundation Regional Airline Association Southwest Airlines Pilots Association The Boeing Company Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO Transport Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO Travelers United United States Parachute Association United States Tour Operators Association U.S. Contract Tower Association U.S. Helicopter Safety Team U.S. Travel Association Vertical Aviation International Vertical Flight Society

3Q2025 Earnings Underscore American Airlines’ Competitive Decline Friday, Oct. 24, 2025 American Airlines’ third quarter 2025 financial results continue to lag our competitors, and the trend is deeply concerning. Rather than closing the performance gap, American continues to fall further behind, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of current leadership strategies and decision-making. In May 2025, the J.D. Power 2025 North America Airline Satisfaction Study ranked American Airlines dead last in an overall customer satisfaction index rating for First/Business Class. Economy/Basic Economy scores for American landed at a dismal seventh place below the segment average and behind Southwest, JetBlue, Delta, Alaska, Allegiant, and United. While new coffee and champagne are welcomed improvements for a lagging product, there is a serious issue with American’s customer perception that management is failing to address.  (Source: J.D. Power 2025 North America Airline Satisfaction Study ). Management’s assurances of “progress” to improve earnings, our product, and service levels ring hollow. The Company continues to underdeliver on key financial metrics. These results are not the product of chance; they are the outcome of a series of poor strategic decisions that have weakened our brand and employees’ morale. Frontline employees see the effects of American Airlines management’s decisions every day, and passengers notice the difference too. A subpar onboard product and poor leadership at all levels have created inconsistent service levels that continue to take their toll. The result? Declining customer satisfaction at a time when our competitors are investing meaningfully in their product, both onboard and in the airports. While American Airlines executives continue to tout “long-term transformation,” frontline employees bear the immediate impact of these significant failures. We are the face of this airline. We deliver the service from check-in to inflight, we represent the brand, and we continue to perform under immense pressure. Performance standards should not apply only to the frontline employees trying every day to make this airline succeed. They must also apply to those in the offices at headquarters. It is time for accountability at the highest levels. American Airlines must take decisive action to regain competitiveness and restore confidence among its employees and customers. The excuses must end. Employees at American Airlines continue the call to: Upgrade the product to give us the chance to compete with our rivals. Staff your airplanes the way a world-class airline should — and deliver a competitive onboard experience in every cabin. Hold executives accountable to the same high standards demanded of every frontline employee. The path forward needs to be outlined by management and communicated to every employee at all levels of the organization, but it requires leadership willing to face reality and act decisively. American’s frontline employees are ready to move this airline forward and outperform our competitors as we celebrate our centennial. The question now is — are our executives?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Capt. Dennis Tajer, 847-902-8481/Gregg Overman, 817-302-2250 Allied Pilots Association Calls for End to Shutdown FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 23, 2025) – The Allied Pilots Association (APA), representing the 16,000 pilots of American Airlines, calls on Congress to end the government shutdown. “Congress should reconvene and work in a bipartisan manner to pass a clean Continuing Resolution to fund and reopen the government,” said First Officer Nick Silva, APA President. The United States federal government shutdown started on Oct. 1 and is now the second longest shutdown in U.S. history. “We stand with our brothers and sisters in air traffic control and TSA who continue to show up to work every day without a paycheck,” President Silva said. “These men and women take their oath seriously to guarantee a safe National Airspace System so we the pilots can ensure the flying public reaches their destinations in a timely manner and without harm. As the shutdown stretches on and airports encounter potential delays, it only intensifies the pressure these aviation professionals confront in the face of not getting paid. It’s time we support these men and women and reopen the federal government.” Founded in 1963, the Allied Pilots Association – the largest independent pilots union in the United States – is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. APA represents the 16,000 pilots of American Airlines, including several hundred pilots on full-time military leave of absence serving in the armed forces. The union’s website is AlliedPilots.org.
