What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would raise the age at which commercial airline pilots are required to retire, changing it from 65 to 67 years old. However, this change would not apply when flying in the airspace of a foreign country that doesn't allow older pilots or in international airspace where it would break international aviation rules. Pilots who are already over 65 when the bill becomes law would be allowed to come back and fly commercially until they turn 67. The bill also requires the Federal Aviation Administration to send Congress a report about whether the retirement age for pilots should be raised even further.
