The government shutdown has put a temporary halt on aircraft sales transactions after the FAA’s registration office in Oklahoma City was ordered closed on October 1. If the shutdown drags on and the FAA office remains shut, more than $1 billion worth of airplane deliveries could be in jeopardy, aviation industry leaders warn.
The National Business Aviation Association sent an urgent letter to President Obama and Congress spelling out the dire consequences the shutdown could have on the ability of aircraft manufacturers to deliver their products.
