Sun Jan 12 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## NBAA Urges Swift Senate Confirmation of Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary

**Washington, D.C.** – The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) is strongly advocating for the swift confirmation of Sean Duffy as the next Secretary of Transportation. Duffy’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for January 15th before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.

NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen stated that business aviation is a crucial component of the nation’s transportation infrastructure and economy, emphasizing the need for strong leadership at the Department of Transportation. The association believes Duffy’s background makes him well-suited for the role.

Duffy, a former Wisconsin congressman, brings extensive experience and bipartisan appeal to the position. His representation of a rural district provided him with firsthand knowledge of general aviation’s importance in connecting underserved communities. This, combined with his legislative expertise, makes him a strong candidate, according to the NBAA.

The NBAA, representing over 10,000 companies and professionals in the business aviation sector, is optimistic about Duffy’s nomination and anticipates a positive outcome from the Senate committee. They look forward to collaborating with him to improve the aviation industry and broaden transportation access for all Americans. Duffy’s appointment signals a potential focus on infrastructure improvements and expanded transportation networks under the incoming administration.
