Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025
To prohibit the use of funds to procure or modify foreign aircraft for presidential airlift.
Summary
This bill prohibits the Department of Defense from using appropriated funds in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to procure, modify, restore, or maintain any aircraft previously owned by a foreign government or foreign government entity for presidential airlift purposes. The prohibition applies to any aircraft owned or controlled by a foreign government or its representatives. The bill effectively restricts presidential air transportation to domestically owned aircraft for those fiscal years.
