#Natural Hazard Resilience for Airports Act

The US Senate on Thursday passed the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, which included several provisions authored by US Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i). The bill contains measures to address air tour noise in Hawai‘i, improve air tour safety, help airports adapt to extreme weather, and establish a Senate-confirmed Assistant Secretary at the Department of Transportation’s Office of Aviation Consumer Protection. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

U.S. Senators Brian Schatz and Ted Budd introduced legislation to improve airport infrastructure across the country, making them more resilient to severe weather and natural disasters.
