Senator Cruz urges Trump to back raising airline pilot retirement age to 67 at ICAO meeting.
U.S.
Senator Ted Cruz has urged former President Trump to support raising the international airline pilot retirement age from 65 to 67 during the ICAO assembly in Montreal.
The proposal, backed by IATA and several countries, argues that modern health standards allow experienced pilots to fly safely longer.
However, pilot unions oppose the change, citing age-related risks and a 2024 congressional rejection of similar legislation.
The FAA has called for safety analysis, and the U.S. has not yet taken a formal stance.
ICAO, with 193 member states, typically adopts global aviation standards.
