WASHINGTON-A bid by House Republicans to shift the federal air-traffic control system to a nonprofit corporation's control has been sidelined by bipartisan Senate opposition, according to congressional staffers, airline industry officials and others participating in the process.

Continuing disagreements between senators and the Republican chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee over a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill have created a legislative logjam, these people said, likely to last until at least next spring or summer.
