None

We have received text from H.R. 5451: Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025. This bill was received on 2025-09-18, and currently has 23 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

The Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025 aims to ensure that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can continue its essential operations and activities during a government shutdown or when there is a lapse in government funding. Here are the main points of the bill:

Purpose of the Bill

The bill provides a funding mechanism from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, allowing the FAA to maintain operations even when regular appropriations are not available. This is intended to prevent disruptions in aviation services that could occur during such funding gaps.

Key Provisions

  • Availability of Funds: If the FAA does not have an approved appropriation for a fiscal year, it can use available funds from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to continue all programs and projects that were funded in the previous fiscal year.
  • Rate for Operations: The FAA can only spend at a rate that is not greater than the amount appropriated for the previous year, ensuring that spending remains consistent.
  • Duration of Funding: The funding will be available from the first day of the lapse in appropriations until either a new appropriation bill becomes law or for a maximum of 30 days after the lapse.
  • Expenditures and Obligations: Any expenses incurred under this provision will be attributed to the applicable appropriation once funding is restored through regular legislative processes.
  • Conditions: The authority to use these funds will be subject to the same conditions that were applied to the previous year's appropriations.
  • Termination Clause: If there are other laws that allocate funding or prohibit appropriations for a specific program during the fiscal year, this bill's provisions will not apply.

Impact on Other Fiscal Years

If this bill remains in effect at the end of a fiscal year, the funding provisions will automatically carry over into the next fiscal year to ensure ongoing support for FAA activities.

Relevant Companies

  • BA (Boeing Company) - As a major manufacturer in the aerospace industry, Boeing could see a direct impact if FAA operations are disrupted or if certification processes for aircraft are delayed due to funding issues.
  • UAL (United Airlines Holdings, Inc.) - As a large airline, United Airlines relies on FAA operations for air traffic management, and any disruptions could affect flight operations and overall service reliability.
  • AAL (American Airlines Group, Inc.) - Similar to United, American Airlines may face operational challenges if FAA funding is hindered, impacting flight schedules and safety oversight.
