Airport Vehicle Security: Restrictions on Foreign Suppliers

New regulations aim to enhance airport security by restricting the purchase of vehicles from companies linked to countries identified as non-market economies or problematic. This means that financial assistance for airport projects cannot be used to buy vehicles from manufacturers controlled by corporations from such countries, even if they have facilities in the US. The goal is to support security and supply independence in airport infrastructure.
Key points
Restrictions on airport vehicle procurement: public funds cannot be used to purchase vehicles from manufacturers linked to certain countries.
This applies to companies owned or controlled by corporations from countries identified as non-market economies or under special US trade monitoring.
Exception: minority relationships or investments in companies that do not export vehicles to the US are allowed, unless the company is based in China.
