Bill > HR3746

This bill, called the Rebuilding America's Airport Infrastructure Act, focuses on modifying the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. Specifically, the bill proposes a phased increase in the maximum PFC that airports can charge passengers, starting at $5.50 in 2027 and progressively rising to $8.50 by 2030, with subsequent annual adjustments for inflation. The current PFC structure, which allowed charges of $1 to $4.50, would be replaced by this new graduated scale. The bill removes certain existing restrictions and provisions related to PFC collection, effectively giving airports more flexibility in generating revenue for infrastructure improvements. The changes would apply to passenger facility charges imposed on or after January 1, 2027, which means airports would have several years to prepare for the new fee structure. The goal appears to be providing airports with increased funding to support critical infrastructure investments and maintenance.
