Ensures airline security fees would go directly to improving airport safety and technology.
This bill would make sure the 9/11 Security Fee paid by airline passengers goes directly to aviation security. It sets aside $750 million each year, starting in the government's budget year 2028, for airport security upgrades and new checkpoint technology. This would benefit travelers by enhancing safety and security measures.
Today, a portion of the 9/11 Security Fee collected from airline passengers is used for purposes unrelated to aviation security. If this bill becomes law, $750,000,000 from these fees would be specifically set aside each year for aviation security improvements and new checkpoint technology, starting in the government's budget year 2028.
