Sep 8, 2026· Comment from Regional Airline Association· FAA-2026-6739-0792

The Regional Airline Association submits the attached comments in strong support of the Federal Aviation Administration's proposal to add 14 C.F.R. §§ 117.31 and 121.468, confirming that FAA's flightcrew member and flight attendant duty and rest regulations preempt state and local meal and rest break requirements.

Abstract

FAA proposes to clarify that FAA regulations governing flightcrew member and flight attendant duty and rest periods preempt all State and local meal and rest break requirements. This proposed rule also explains the agency’s view that State meal and rest break requirements are preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 (ADA) due to their significant impact on air carrier prices, routes, and services.
