HR 5455 United States House · 119th Congress

Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025

HR 5455, the Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025, ensures continued operation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during government funding gaps. If Congress fails to pass regular appropriations or a continuing resolution before the new fiscal year begins, the bill allows the FAA to use existing funds from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to maintain essential programs and airport infrastructure at the previous year’s funding level. This prevents shutdowns for FAA operations like air traffic control, airport grants, and safety programs for up to 30 days or until regular funding is enacted. The bill directly affects all FAA programs funded through the trust fund, including airport improvements and aviation safety initiatives, without creating new policies or altering funding levels.
