Stable Aviation Funding During Government Shutdowns

This act aims to ensure the continuous operation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) even if Congress fails to approve a budget. This means essential aviation services, such as air traffic control, airport security, and infrastructure maintenance, will continue, minimizing disruptions to air travel and ensuring passenger safety. Citizens can therefore feel more secure about their travel plans, even in the face of political budget disputes.
Key points

Flight Safety: Maintains critical services like air traffic control and safety, which is vital for all air travelers.
