Senators urge Trump to reconsider dropping Biden airline compensation plan
WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - A group of 18 Democratic senators urged the Trump administration to reconsider its announcement to drop a plan by the prior administration to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation under then-President Joe Biden sought public comment in a regulatory proceeding about whether airlines should be required to pay up to $775 for delays that they cause. USDOT announced last month it planned to drop the compensation plan and that is considering rescinding Biden regulations requiring airlines and ticket agents to disclose service fees alongside airfares.
