President Donald Trump’s administration said yesterday it will drop a plan by his predecessor to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when US flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
In December, the US Department of Transportation under then President Joe Biden sought public comment on the rulemaking process about whether airlines should be required to pay $200-$300 for domestic delays of at least three hours and up to $775 for longer delays. US airlines sharply criticised the proposal.
The White House said in a document posted yesterday that USDOT plans to withdraw the notice “consistent with department and administration priorities.”
In May 2023, Biden said his administration would write rules requiring airlines to compensate passengers for disrupted flights.
