US drops Biden plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights

Reuters

Nov 14

WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration said on Friday it was formally withdrawing a plan by his predecessor to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by carriers.

In December 2024, the U.S. Transportation Department under then-President Joe Biden sought public comment on writing rules to require airlines should to pay $200 to $300 for domestic delays of at least three hours and up to $775 for longer delays. In September, USDOT first disclosed it planned to withdraw the proposal. On Friday, USDOT said the rules would result in "unnecessary regulatory burdens" in explaining why it would not go forward.
