HR 8533 United States House · 118th Congress

Safe Air on Airplanes Act

HR 8533, the Safe Air on Airplanes Act, requires the Federal Aviation Administration to update aircraft safety regulations to address bleed air systems. It prohibits new jet and turboprop aircraft designs from using these systems, mandates filters to remove oil fumes in new aircraft within 7 years, and sets a 30-year phase-out schedule for existing aircraft designs (25% by year 10, 50% by year 20, 100% by year 30). The bill directly affects aircraft manufacturers and airlines by changing requirements for new aircraft production and fleet modifications. It focuses on technical air quality standards for cabin air, not health outcomes or costs.
