For Immediate Release: November 19, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) was appointed to serve on the Subcommittee on Aviation on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Rep. Hoyle has served on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee since 2023.
“I’m excited to be able to serve in this new role to advocate for safer flights, better service, and investment in our aging air traffic infrastructure,” said Representative Hoyle. “As a member of the Subcommittee on Aviation, I will be able to continue in the tradition of Peter DeFazio in pushing for an aviation system that holds industry and manufacturers accountable, treats workers with respect and puts passengers first.”
“During her tenure in Congress, Representative Val Hoyle has drawn on her previous experience as a labor leader to fight for the hardworking women and men in transportation,” Ranking Member Larsen said. “As a new member of the Subcommittee on Aviation, Representative Hoyle will continue her labor advocacy to ensure our invaluable aviation workforce is given the support it deserves.”
Background
The Subcommittee on Aviation has jurisdiction over all aspects of civil aviation, including safety, infrastructure, labor, commerce, and international issues. All programs of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), except for research activities, are within the purview of the Subcommittee.
The Aviation Subcommittee is also traditionally the lead subcommittee with jurisdiction over the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the federal agency responsible for investigating civil aviation accidents and other transportation accidents. The Essential Air Service program, which ensures commercial air service to smaller communities, the war risk insurance program, which provides insurance coverage for commercial flights to high-risk parts of the world, the National Mediation Board (NMB), and passenger and cargo commercial space transportation also fall within the purview of the Aviation Subcommittee.
