New Bills To Step Up Federal Coordination of AAM
Lawmakers in the House and Senate have introduced legislation to lay a foundation for government facilitation of AAM.
Congress is considering legislation that would boost the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) in the U.S. Under the legislation, a working group would be established to look at steps to mature AAM aircraft operations; safety and security involved with air traffic management concepts for AAM; federal policies that can be leveraged to advance AAM; necessary infrastructure to support AAM; and benefits associated with such development.

Legislation seeking to boost the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) in the U.S. is now progressing in both the House and Senate with bipartisan support. The proposed bills, “Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act,” call on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to establish an inter-agency working group to coordinate efforts to develop a complete AAM ecosystem to support widespread operations of new eVTOL aircraft.
