WASHINGTON, December 15, 2020 — Statement from A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio:

We congratulate Pete Buttigieg on his nomination by President-Elect Biden for Department of Transportation Secretary. Mayor Buttigieg has been engaged with transportation for many years, and we look forward to working with DOT under his strong leadership as we resume connecting American communities, families and businesses with each other and with the rest of the world. U.S. airlines have always been critical to our nation’s economy and infrastructure. Now, as our nation looks toward the future, A4A and our member carriers stand ready to collaborate with the new administration to help speed the recovery of our industry, the nation and the world from the COVID-19 pandemic.
