Plain Language Summary

# National Airport Supersonic Readiness Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to prepare U.S. airports for the potential arrival of supersonic passenger aircraft. It would require airports and federal aviation authorities to assess their current infrastructure and develop plans to accommodate faster-than-sound commercial flights, which don't yet exist but are in development by private companies. The legislation focuses on getting airports ready before these aircraft are actually available for passenger service. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts airport operators, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and potentially future passengers.

It would require coordination between these entities to evaluate runway capabilities, noise management systems, and other infrastructure needs. Supersonic aircraft manufacturers developing these jets would also have an indirect stake in the bill's outcomes. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. Limited details are publicly available about specific provisions, as the bill appears to be in its early legislative stages. The 119th Congress is still considering whether to move forward with this measure.
