The U.S. House passed a bill to keep air traffic control running during shutdowns using aviation insurance funds.

The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the bipartisan Aviation Funding Solvency Act (H.R. 6086), which would allow the FAA to access funds from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund during government shutdowns to maintain air traffic control and safety services. The National Business Aviation Association praised the move, noting that general aviation supports 1.2 million jobs and contributes $340 billion annually to the economy, with funding lapses threatening safety, reliability, and critical missions. The bill now advances to the full House for consideration.
