Protecting Outdoor Concerts Act of 2024

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish temporary flight restrictions over outdoor concerts or music festivals with at least 30,000 daily attendees. The restrictions would apply to both manned and unmanned aircraft (like drones) to protect safety on the ground and in the air. The FAA must design these restrictions similarly to how it handles aerial shows or major sporting events under existing rules. This directly affects large event organizers, pilots operating near such venues, and the FAA’s airspace management procedures.
