- The House of Representatives is set to consider aviation safety legislation next week after the National Transportation Safety Board issued dozens of recommendations after its probe into a January 2025 collision between an American Airlines AAL.O regional jet and Army Black Hawk helicopter killed 67 people.

The U.S. Senate passed legislation unanimously in December that would require aircraft operators by the end of 2031 to equip their fleets with a key safety system known as automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast system, also known as ADS-B. The bill also boosts oversight of commercial jet and helicopter traffic and flight routes near commercial airports.

Leaders on the House Transportation and Armed Services committees are separately working to introduce a comprehensive House bill to address the range of issues raised by the accident, a spokesperson for the transportation committee said.
