President Joe Biden has signed a sweeping $105 billion Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill into law. The legislation aims to enhance aviation safety and consumer rights, with notable provisions including increased staffing for U.S. air traffic controllers, improved funding to prevent runway close-call incidents, and expedited refunds for canceled flights. The bill also strengthens airline maintenance and safety standards, protects American passengers and jobs, and includes measures to advance clean energy in the aviation industry. Additionally, the bill addresses the Essential Air Service Program, ensuring reliable air travel for rural communities, and mandates a study on the health effects of airborne ultrafine particles. The reauthorization act, supported by various lawmakers, does not include a proposed increase to the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots. It also guarantees an automatic cash refund if a flight is significantly delayed or canceled.
