Requires new security checks for some smaller passenger flights not currently screened by TSA.
This bill, called the Safer Skies Act of 2025, would require certain smaller passenger airlines to follow the same security rules as larger airlines. These flights offer individual seats on public schedules and have more than nine seats. Crucially, they don't use regular Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints. This change aims to make air travel safer by adding more security screenings to these operations.
Today, certain smaller passenger flights do not follow the Aircraft Operator Standard Security Program. These are flights that offer individual seats on public schedules, have more than nine seats, and don't use TSA checkpoints. If this bill becomes law, these flights would be required to follow those security rules within about a year. The TSA would also update its policies to implement this change.
