The bill also calls for the development of guidelines and best practices for airports to follow in order to improve their resilience.

Additionally, the Resilient Airports Act emphasizes the importance of collaboration between airports, government agencies, and other stakeholders in order to effectively address resilience challenges. The bill encourages airports to work together to share information and resources, and to coordinate their efforts to build a more resilient aviation system. Overall, the Resilient Airports Act aims to ensure that airports are better prepared to handle the impacts of climate change and other environmental threats, ultimately improving the safety and reliability of air travel for passengers and cargo.
