U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez is leading a congressional effort to pressure SkyHop Global, a national airline crew transportation company, to return to the bargaining table with striking shuttle drivers serving New York City’s major airports.
In a letter sent this week, Velázquez and 14 members of the New York Congressional delegation—including Queens-based Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Grace Meng, and Gregory Meeks—called on SkyHop CEO Kristine Scotto to “engage in good-faith negotiations” with the drivers, who have been on strike since November 2024 at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Airports.
