Fly America Act

The Fly America Act is a U.S. law that requires government-funded travelers to use U.S. or approved foreign airlines for international flights whenever possible. The purpose is to ensure federal money supports U.S. airlines and maintains contractual compliance. Travelers should generally book flights with airlines that participate in the Open Skies Agreement, giving preference to U.S.-based carriers unless specific exceptions apply. This act helps protect American airline interests and ensures federal funds are used appropriately for international travel.
