An Act to amend title XIII of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to expand the types of risks which the Secretary of Transportation may insure or reinsure, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to authorize the Secretary of Transportation to insure domestic and foreign air carriers against loss or damage arising out of any risk (previously only war risks) from the operation of an aircraft if the President determines that the operation of such aircraft is necessary to carry out the foreign policy of the United States and such insurance is otherwise unavailable. Stipulates that such insurance shall be for a maximum period of 60 days and may only cover risks while the aircraft is engaged in foreign commerce or operating between points outside the United States. Allows the Secretary to reinsure such aircraft if the President determines that its continued operation is necessary to carry out the foreign policy of the United States.
