As a consequence of this, U.S. airlines do face some possible repercussions for non compliance with failing to comply with ICAO rules because FAA lawyers have made that difficult.The Transport Security Administration is charged with developing policies to guard U.S. transportation and oversees security for mass transit systems: ports, railroads, buses, highways and pipelines.

The fact is that general aviation is the largest segment of the industry. The planned legislation proposes to triple fuel levies on general aviation while eliminating the same for airlines. The plan which envisages the AIA being controlled by a powerful non-elected board would see the general aviation sector being sidelined hence their move to form the breakaway GAMA.Recent market trends have seen new wave of air trade shows where marketers are attempting to prop up declining aircraft sales.
