H.R. 3632: Fair and Open Skies Act

116th Congress

To ensure that authorizations issued by the Secretary of Transportation to foreign air carriers do not undermine labor rights or standards, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Peter DeFazio — D — OR

Amends the criteria that the Department of Transportation (DOT) must consider when processing permit applications for foreign air carriers to provide foreign air transportation in the United States. Specifically, the bill prohibits DOT from issuing new permits to foreign air carriers unless the carrier adheres to labor standards reflected in the guidelines to the United States-European Union Air Transport Agreement of April 2007 (as amended). Active permits would not be affected.
