US lawmakers strike deal to boost aviation safety, will not raise pilot retirement age
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. House and Senate negotiators said early Monday they had reached a deal to boost air traffic controller staffing and boost funding to avert runway close-call incidents, but will not increase the airline pilot retirement age to 67 from 65. The U.S. House of Representatives in July voted 351-69 on a sweeping bill to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that would also raise the mandatory pilot retirement age to 67 but the Senate Commerce Committee had voted in February to reject the retirement age increase. Congress has temporarily extended authorization for the FAA through May 10 as it works on a new $105 billion, five-year deal.
