What this bill would do

The Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025 aims to provide continuous funding for Federal Aviation Administration activities during a government shutdown. It allows the Administrator to use unappropriated amounts from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to maintain programs, projects, and activities. This includes operations, facilities, equipment, research, and airport grants. The funding is based on rates from the previous fiscal year and is intended to last for up to 30 days during a lapse in appropriations. This act ensures stability for aviation functions if a regular appropriation or a joint resolution is not enacted on time.
