Yellowstone and Teton Scenic Overflight Exclusion Act of 2001

This bill would prohibit commercial air tour companies from flying over or within one mile of the boundaries of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. By creating this exclusion zone, the legislation aims to protect the natural quiet and wildlife of these parks from the noise and visual disruption caused by low-flying sightseeing planes and helicopters. For visitors on the ground, this would mean a more tranquil experience, while travelers looking for aerial tours would no longer be able to book commercial flights directly over these specific protected areas.
