Airlines for America congratulates President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on their election victory. We look forward to working with them and the new administration to advance policy priorities that will benefit American consumers, commerce and the economy.

Commercial aviation—including passenger airlines and all-cargo carriers—proudly drives five percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), directly employs one million people and supports more than 10 million jobs across the country.

U.S. carriers will work collaboratively with the new administration to ensure that flying remains the safest mode of transportation, while operating more than 26,000 flights and transporting 2.6 million people and 61,000 tons of cargo every day.
