President Donald Trump’s administration said on Friday it was formally withdrawing a plan by his predecessor (Biden) to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
Last month, a group of 18 Democratic senators urged the Trump administration not to drop the compensation plan.
Airlines in the U.S. must refund passengers for canceled flights, but are not required to compensate customers for delays. The European Union, Canada, Brazil and Britain all have airline delay compensation rules. No large U.S. airline currently guarantees cash compensation for significant flight disruption.
USDOT also announced in September it was considering rescinding Biden regulations requiring airlines and ticket agents to disclose service fees alongside airfares.
Cutting off all potential sources of financial income or relief. Destroying our crops and reducing access to food and water.
Why does it seem like war tactics are being used against us?
Because it is class warfare. Always has been.
Airlines getting away scot-free, great for them, bad for consumers
