House votes down Senate air safety legislation
The House voted down the Senate’s air safety legislation. The bill would have required aircraft to carry advanced location tracking technology to improve tracking and prevent midair collisions.
Opponents argued the measure would impose costly mandates and raise privacy concerns, while supporters said it was essential for aviation safety and could have prevented past incidents.
The defeat leaves existing safety rules in place, with no immediate path for the proposed tracking technology to become mandatory.
