US Senate Passes $105 Billion Bill to Improve Air Travel Safety

The US Senate has passed a comprehensive aviation bill aimed at enhancing air safety and improving passenger experience. The $105 billion legislation calls for hiring more air traffic controllers, implementing advanced technology to prevent runway incidents, and mandating longer cockpit voice recordings. It also requires airlines to provide faster refunds for cancelled flights, ban fees for family seating, and increase penalties for consumer rights violations. The bill also directs the US Federal Aviation Administration and the safety investigation agency, the National Transportation Safety Board, to hire more staff. The bill comes after a series of airline mishaps the country has seen this year. American plane maker Boeing has been under severe scrutiny for its jet manufacturing issues.
