S 1093 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Hawaii Air Tour Management Act of 2023

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to work with Hawaii's governor to create a management plan for air tours in non-national park areas of Hawaii within two years of enactment. It directly affects air tour operators flying in these specific Hawaiian areas by establishing new rules for their operations. Key provisions include the FAA-governor agreement defining the plan's content and process, and temporary operating authority for existing operators until the plan is finalized. The bill exempts the plan's creation from standard federal rulemaking procedures but does not change current air tour operations beyond the new planning requirement.
