Keeps air travel services running during government shutdowns for up to 30 days
This bill would let the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) keep operating for up to 30 days during a government shutdown. This means air travelers and the aviation industry would see fewer disruptions to flights and safety oversight, as the FAA could use its dedicated trust fund money.
Today, during a government shutdown, many Federal Aviation Administration activities may stop or significantly slow down due to a lack of funding. If this bill becomes law, the FAA could continue its programs, projects, and activities for up to 30 days during a government shutdown. It would use funds from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, helping to prevent major disruptions to air travel.
