The aviation industry says permanent DST would be very disruptive to the sector, requiring up to 24 months to adjust airlines' scheduling systems. The change would impact everything from "crew and aircraft positioning" to "domestic and international connectivity issues," according to Airlines for America, or A4A, the trade association representing leading carriers.

"Airlines operate expansive interconnected domestic and global networks that are reliant on stability and predictability. Any changes would need an implementation timeline that reflects these global complications," the group said.
