What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "National Airport Supersonic Readiness Act of 2025," directs the FAA Administrator to study how prepared certain airports are for high-speed air travel. The study focuses on whether large hub airports can handle aircraft traveling at supersonic or hypersonic speeds. The Administrator must evaluate things like runway length, ground equipment, and air traffic control systems. This study should also consider environmental regulations regarding noise and emissions. A final report including results, policy recommendations, and estimated costs must be submitted to Congress within one year.
