Latest Action · June 29, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
The Quiet Skies Act would require the Secretary of Transportation to issue federal regulations prohibiting cell phone voice calls on commercial aircraft within 180 days of the law's passage. The ban would apply to all scheduled passenger flights operating between states or within states. The legislation does not specify new funding or enforcement mechanisms, instead directing the Transportation Department to finalize rules under existing regulatory authority. This bill directly affects airline passengers and crew members by preventing the use of cellular voice communications during flights, though it does not address other wireless communications like texting or data usage. The bill was introduced in June 2026 with bipartisan sponsorship from four House members.
