House Transportation and Infrastructure committee favorably reports Alert Act after debate over ADS‑B privacy provision The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure voted to report HR 7613, the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act, after adopting a manager's amendment and rejecting multiple amendments that would have removed or narrowed an ADS‑B privacy provision; the final committee vote was 62‑0 to report the bill.

The House Committee has taken a major step towards enhancing aviation safety by advancing the ALERT Act, which addresses critical recommendations following a tragic midair collision that claimed 67 lives.

Sarawak pushes drone ecosystem to drive low-altitude economy MIRI (March 31): Sarawak’s aspiration to develop a low-altitude economy is set to transform the state’s economic landscape and rural connectivity by leveraging a growing drone ecosystem for services such as medicine delivery, crop monitoring and emergency response. State Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the initiative could address longstanding challenges faced by communities in the state’s vast interior, where access has traditionally depended on small aircraft navigating unpredictable weather to reach remote short take-off and landing airports (STOLports). Speaking at the Aviation Safety Seminar 2026 here, he outlined a bold vision for advancing the low-altitude economy — […]
