U.S. Lawmakers Back Government Support for Advanced Air Mobility
A proposed bill in the House of Representatives has won support from industry groups including the National Business Aviation Association and the Helicopter Association International.
U.S. Congress
The Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act was this week introduced for consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers this week introduced legislation in the House of Representatives designed to help pave the way for the development of infrastructure to support the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) sector. The Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act (AAIM), H.R.6270, would direct the Secretary of Transportation to establish a pilot program that would provide planning and construction grants to support AAM infrastructure development.

Industry groups including the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the Helicopter Association International, welcomed the proposed bill, which they say could support the development of public-use vertiports. The envisaged grant program would also support integration into the nation’s airspace, leverage existing public transportation facilities, and develop community engagement programs.
