The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday passed a slate of aviation-related bills by voice vote, including measures to pave the way for supersonic flight over land, move toward digitization surrounding pilot certificates and the supply chain, and build in more flexibility for small airport funding. In all, the House approved 14 bills backed by the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee that covered a variety of issues, from rural broadband access to protecting waterways.

“Today’s slate of bills passed under suspension will support aviation safety and innovation,” said T&I ranking member Rick Larsen (D-Washington). “I’m glad the T&I Committee’s bipartisan work could reach the finish line with floor passage of these bills.”
