A U.S. House committee approved legislation to ensure air traffic controllers and key workers are paid during government shutdowns to prevent aviation disruptions. The committee also passed a bill requiring the FAA to approve supersonic jet transport by April 2027 if conditions are met. Major airlines supported the pay legislation, citing disruptions during the 43-day government shutdown.
