Airline Operational Resiliency Act of 2023
This bill mandates a study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess how airlines prepare for weather events and natural hazards like storms, floods, and extreme heat. The GAO will evaluate airlines' operational planning, FAA oversight, and potential improvements for resilience, then report findings to Congress within 18 months. It directly affects airlines (through their operational planning) and the FAA (as regulator), but does not impose new requirements on carriers. The study aims to inform future policy decisions without altering current airline operations or regulations.
