LOBBYISTS: THE WHEELER DEALERS OF WASHINGTON, DC – Credit: Elaine M, Plane Sense 4 Long Island

“If you visit the Capitol in Washington, DC, one might be expected to see a host of elected representatives filling the halls with the hustle and bustle of attending meetings, working on legislation, conferring with colleagues, and you will recognize the faces of the politicians who are most noted in the news.; the politicians that make the headlines for their legislative accomplishments. However, who you will not recognize or even notice are the power brokers of Washington who roam the halls of the Capitol making and cutting deals for the benefit of industries, organizations, agencies and businesses.

They wield remarkable leverage directing legislation that will benefit their employer. They are the hidden power players, the deal makers, who have immense influence in directing legislation; they are the lobbyists of Washington, DC.

A lobbyist is one who conducts activities aimed at influencing or swaying public officials and especially members of a legislative body on legislation: a person engaged in lobbying the public Official lobbyists’ role is to shape legislative measures by presenting the interests of businesses or groups to legislators. These professionals use their influence to persuade lawmakers to agree with their efforts and opinion. They want to gain legislative support to propose, pass, amend or defeat legislation or change existing laws and regulations.

The aviation lobby is a significant force in U.S. politics, representing various stakeholders in the industry, including airlines, manufacturers, and airports.

Size and Influence

The aviation lobby is one of the largest lobbying groups in the U.S., with expenditures often exceeding $20 million annually.

Major organizations include the Airlines for America (A4A), the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), and the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA).

Key Players

Major airlines like Delta, American Airlines, and United Airlines are prominent contributors. Aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus also play a crucial role in lobbying efforts.

Legislative Focus

The aviation lobby advocates for issues such as funding for airport infrastructure, regulatory reforms, and policies related to safety and security.

It also addresses environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives.

Impact on Policy

The aviation lobby has successfully influenced legislation related to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization and funding for air traffic control modernization.

Lobbying in the US faces harsh and widespread criticism. This is due to the concerns that lobbyists have the power to influence policy-making in favor of special interests. It has been argued that lobbyists can unduly influence politicians by financial contributions which will prioritize the needs of their clients over the needs of the politicians’ constituency. Overall, the aviation lobby's size and financial resources enable it to exert considerable influence over aviation-related policies and regulations in the United States.

As planes continue to roar over our homes, lobbyists will be scouring the halls of Congress preparing to make their next deal ensuring that the airline industry will continue its exploitation of our communities at the sacrifice of our families’ health and well-being”. - Plane Sense 4 Long Island

As our communities endure sleepless nights, the relentless roar of planes, sinking property values, and toxic air pollution, many Americans view the FAA as a glaring symbol of a broken system — one that prioritizes pollution, profit, and power above the health and well-being of the American public:

As aviation spirals out of control, growing unchecked and relentlessly aggressive, communities from coast to coast are being torn apart by this overwhelming and destructive force.

Years of unchecked political influence by the airline industry, powerful aviation lobbyists, and Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association have condemned communities to endure the negative health consequences of toxic air pollution and deafening plane noise—flying dangerously low and loud over homes — with no relief in sight.

Let this be a clear reminder to our representatives that Delta, United, and the aviation lobby groups do not cast votes in the elections — we do. And we will not forget your indifference, your failure to defend our homes, or how you have allowed corporate greed to ravage our lives, disrespect our communities, and silence our voices.

We are not your victims — we are your constituents, and we will no longer be ignored.
