Trump admin to drop a plan by Biden admin to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when US flight disruptions are caused by carriers
In Dec, the US DoT under then-President Biden sought public comment on rule about whether airlines should be req'd to pay
$200-
$300 for domestic delays of at least 3 hours & up to
$775 for longer delays.
US airlines sharply criticized the proposal & lobbied the Trump admin
DoT is considering rescinding regulations issued under Biden admin in April 2024 that required airlines & ticket agents to disclose service fees alongside airfares to help consumers avoid unnecessary or unexpected fees. The req't was put on hold by the court pending an industry legal challenge
DoT is also planning to reduce regulatory burdens on airlines & ticket agents by writing new rules detailing the definition of a flight cancellation that entitles consumers to ticket refunds, as well as revisit rules on ticket pricing & advertising.
