A bill to amend the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to require the suspension of air service between the United States and any foreign nation that does not implement aviation security measures equal to those in effect at domestic airports.

Summary

Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to provide that if a foreign nation with which the United States has a bilateral air transport agreement does not implement minimum transportation security measures upon notification by the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary shall within 180 days: (1) suspend the foreign air carrier permit issued to such nation; and (2) suspend the right of any air carrier to operate in foreign air transportation to or from such nation. Provides for the reinstatement of such permit and foreign air operations upon the Secretary's determination that such foreign nation effectively administers the minimum security measures standards. Prohibits any air carrier or foreign air carrier to engage in foreign air transportation or commerce in violation of the suspensions imposed by the Secretary.
