MarketWatch reports:

“The House of Representatives has passed a bill authorizing $68 billion in funding for the Federal Aviation Administration over the next four years, underwriting a major upgrade to the nation’s air traffic control system, paid for partly by higher jet fuel taxes. It also gave airports the ability to raise passenger facility charges to $7 from $4.50 a ticket and requires airlines to have plans to remove passengers from planes after long ground delays. The bill increased the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots to 65 from 60. Representatives voted 267 to 151 in favor of the bill, H.R. 2881, which falls short of the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto. The White House said Wednesday it would veto H.R. 2881.”
