Keeps air travel and aviation services running during short government shutdowns.
This bill would let the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) keep operating for up to 30 days during a government shutdown. It would use money from a special fund to avoid disruptions to air travel and aviation services, meaning fewer delays and cancellations for air travelers and continued operations for airlines and airports.
Right now, if Congress doesn't pass a budget for the FAA, many of its services, like air traffic control and safety inspections, would stop or slow down. If this bill becomes law, the FAA would be able to use money from a special trust fund to keep these essential services running for up to 30 days during a government shutdown, reducing travel disruptions.
