“Safety has been and always will be the single highest priority for RAA. Regional airlines have voluntarily adopted and have long benefitted from these safety programs, the legislation incorporates many elements urged by RAA’s Strategic Safety Initiative, and our member regional airlines look forward to continuing our efforts with the FAA and all stakeholders to further build upon commercial aviation’s outstanding safety record.” Roger Cohen, RAA President

Emphasizing regional airlines provide the only scheduled air service to 492 airports, about three quarters of the nation's airports, RAA President Roger Cohen revealed that the current regional share of flights at New York's LaGuardia Airport is 54 percent and 21 percent at JFK, while nearby Newark regional flights total 47 percent.
