Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Advancing Inclusion and Representation in the Workforce of Aviation and Transportation Systems Act or the AIRWAYS Act This bill directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a program to provide grants to support the education and recruitment of an aviation workforce (i.e., aircraft pilots, aviation maintenance technical workers, and aviation manufacturing technical workers). Eligible applicants include certain educational institutions (e.g., an institution of higher education, a postsecondary vocational institution, and a local educational agency), state or local governments, and nonprofit organizations. In addition, air carriers in a partnership with certain educational institutions are eligible for aircraft pilot workforce grants. Among other things, DOT must give priority to applicants that assure that grant funds will be used to encourage the participation of populations that are underrepresented in the aviation industry, including women, minorities, and individuals in economically disadvantaged geographic areas and rural communities.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Establishes a grant program at the Department of Transportation to support education and recruitment for aviation jobs like pilots and aircraft maintenance workers.
Allows a variety of organizations like schools, local governments, and nonprofits to apply for the grants.
Requires the program to prioritize getting people from underrepresented groups, like women and minorities, into these aviation careers.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it could help open up more aviation jobs to a wider and more diverse group of people. This could create new career opportunities, especially for women, minorities, and those from economically disadvantaged areas who have historically been underrepresented in the aviation industry. The grants could fund training programs and recruitment efforts to get more of these individuals into well-paying aviation jobs.
