(NASDAQ:UAL), Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY) and Delta Air Lines (NASDAQ:DAL) are taking a hit in the pre-market as President Joe Biden gives his approval to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act in a bid to improve airline passenger experience and improve air travel safety standards.
波音公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BA）、聯合航空控股公司（納斯達克股票代碼：UAL）、瑞安航空控股有限公司（納斯達克股票代碼：RYAAY）和達美航空（納斯達克股票代碼：DAL）等主要航空股在盤前受到衝擊，因爲總統拜登批准了聯邦航空管理局（FAA）重新授權法，以改善航空公司乘客體驗和提高航空旅行安全標準。

"The bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization is a big win for travelers, the aviation workforce, and our economy. It will expand critical protections for air travelers, strengthen safety standards, and support pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers," Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
“由兩黨組成的聯邦航空管理局重新授權對旅客、航空工作人員和我們的經濟來說都是一個巨大的勝利。它將擴大對航空旅客的關鍵保護，加強安全標準，併爲飛行員、空姐和空中交通管制員提供支持。” 拜登在白宮發表的一份聲明中說。
Why It Matters: The Act marks a crucial step towards improving the air travel experience for passengers. It aims to eliminate the need for passengers to navigate complex processes to claim refunds they are entitled to. The Act also takes a stand against corporations exploiting Americans through hidden fees.
爲何重要：該法案標誌着在改善乘客的航空旅行體驗方面邁出了關鍵一步。它旨在消除乘客需要通過複雜的流程來申請他們有權獲得的退款的麻煩。該法案還採取了反對公司通過隱性費用剝削美國人的立場。
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill on Thursday, which aimed at improving air traffic controller staffing, enhancing runway safety, and expediting refunds for canceled flights. This $105 billion, five-year measure, which passed with a 387-26 vote, was awaiting President Biden's signature. The legislative push underscored the growing urgency to bolster aviation safety following a series of near-miss incidents and a mid-air emergency involving a Boeing 737 MAX 9.
美國衆議院週四通過了該法案，旨在改善空中交通管制員的人員配備，加強跑道安全，並加快取消航班的退款。這項耗資1050億美元、爲期五年的措施以387票對26票獲得通過，正在等待拜登總統的簽署。在一系列險些失誤的事件和涉及波音737 MAX 9的空中緊急情況之後，立法方面的推動凸顯了加強航空安全的緊迫性與日俱增。
