July 22 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday agreed to delay by one year a requirement that was set to take effect in August that new passenger airplanes have a secondary barrier to the flight deck to prevent intrusions.
Airlines for America, the trade group representing American Airlines <AAL.O>, United Airlines UAL.O, Delta Air Lines DAL.N and other major carriers, had asked the FAA to delay compliance by two years because the agency has not yet approved a secondary cockpit barrier, and no manuals, procedures or training programs have been authorized.
