FAIR AIR Act
Grand Canyon Air Tours: Deadline Extension for Quieter Planes
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill gives tour companies that fly over the Grand Canyon more time to switch to quieter planes and helicopters. Under current law, these companies were supposed to upgrade their fleets to reduce noise in the park by 2027.
- The proposal moves the deadline to December 31, 2032. This gives businesses an extra five years to buy new equipment or modify their current aircraft to meet noise standards.
- This change is intended to help rural tour operators stay in business by giving them more time to handle the high costs of new technology. However, it also means the park will stay noisier for a longer period than originally planned.
