The House voted on Wednesday to pass a one-week extension for federal aviation programs in order to prevent a potential deadline crisis. The current deadline for reauthorizing Federal Aviation Administration authorities is May 10, but the House's move extends it to May 17, giving Congress more time to finalize the reauthorization.
Following the House's decision, the Senate must now approve the extension to avoid any disruptions in aviation programs. The Senate is currently working on a five-year FAA reauthorization bill, but uncertainties remain about its passage before the looming deadline.
