This bill makes sure the Federal Aviation Administration can keep running if Congress fails to approve its regular budget. Normally, when Congress doesn't pass a budget on time, federal agencies have to shut down or drastically cut back operations. This bill prevents that by providing emergency funding to keep the FAA operating during the gap. The funding would last for either 30 days or however long the budget delay lasts, whichever is shorter. This matters because the FAA controls air traffic, airport safety, and aviation regulations—services that can't just stop. Without this backup funding, flights could be grounded, air traffic controllers might not get paid, and airport operations could be disrupted, affecting millions of travelers and the airline industry.
