Marianas Air Service Improvement Act

HR 2132, the Marianas Air Service Improvement Act, amends a federal law to specifically exempt the Northern Mariana Islands from certain air service requirements. The bill adds the Northern Mariana Islands to an existing exception in 49 U.S. Code § 41731(c), which already excludes Alaska and Hawaii. This means air service rules that would otherwise apply to all locations in the U.S. do not apply to the Northern Mariana Islands. The bill directly affects air carriers operating in the Northern Mariana Islands by removing these specific regulatory requirements.
