HR 8289 United States House · 118th Congress

Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2024, Part II

This bill extends existing authorizations for airport improvement programs and funding from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which were scheduled to expire on May 10, 2024. It changes specific expiration dates to May 17, 2024 (for most provisions) or May 18, 2024 (for some provisions), providing additional time for airports to access federal funding. The bill primarily modifies dates in existing law rather than creating new programs, ensuring continuity of funding for airport infrastructure projects. It directly affects airports, airlines, and aviation-related businesses that rely on federal airport improvement funding. The extension maintains current funding levels and administrative processes without altering policy fundamentals.
