Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025

This legislation, known as the Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025 , establishes a prohibition on the use of Department of Defense funds for specific aircraft related to presidential airlift. It aims to prevent the acquisition or modification of certain foreign-owned aircraft for this critical purpose. For fiscal years 2025 and 2026, the bill explicitly forbids the use of any appropriated funds for the procurement, modification, restoration, or maintenance of aircraft. This prohibition applies to aircraft previously owned by a foreign government, an entity controlled by a foreign government, or a representative of a foreign government, when intended for providing presidential airlift options .
