                          ADVANCES IN AVIATION

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 
passage of the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American 
Aviation Act. This achievement is the result of bipartisan efforts 
representing a significant step forward in transforming our Nation's 
aviation industry while addressing the issues and delays that flyers 
have faced over the last year.
  I am particularly delighted by provisions in the bill which 
specifically focus on upgrading airport infrastructure and addressing 
workforce shortages in the aviation sector.
  With increased funding for airport infrastructure upgrades, we are 
supporting nonhub airports like Pitt-Greenville Airport, enabling them 
to modernize their facilities. Additionally, large airports will expand 
capacity, enhancing safety measures and fostering economic growth.
  I am committed to ensuring the effective implementation of these 
policies as we continue to advocate for measures that promote safety, 
economic viability, and a bright future for aviation in eastern North 
Carolina and beyond.
