Rebuilding America’s Airport Infrastructure Act

This bill updates the passenger facility charge, a fee airports can add to your plane ticket to help fund airport needs under an FAA program. It raises the maximum amount airports can charge over several years and then ties it to inflation starting in 2030.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Airline passengers and airports that use the passenger facility charge program run by the FAA.
• What changes: The maximum per‑ticket charge can be up to $5.50 in 2027, $6.50 in 2028, $7.50 in 2029, and $8.50 in 2030, with annual inflation adjustments after that.
• When: These new limits apply to charges on or after January 1, 2027.
