Protects commercial flights from shutdowns by requiring private jet restrictions first.
This bill would make it harder for government shutdowns to ground commercial flights. The Federal Aviation Administration would have to restrict private jet flights first. Only then could it limit or stop regular passenger flights during a lapse in government funding. This means fewer disruptions for passengers on commercial flights, while private jet operators would face restrictions first.
Today, during a government shutdown, the Federal Aviation Administration can reduce or stop commercial flights without first restricting private jet flights. If this bill becomes law, the FAA would have to restrict most private jet flights in an area. Only then could it limit or stop commercial flights in that same area during a shutdown.
