Airport Regulatory Relief Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill allows smaller airports to use state highway standards instead of federal standards for pavement projects if safety is not compromised.
  • Nonprimary commercial airports serving aircraft under 60,000 pounds are affected, along with state aviation authorities.
  • The FAA must make safety determinations within six months, with possible six-month extensions requiring written justification.
