USDOT Withdraws Cash Compensation Rule for Airline Delays

The Trump administration has declared that airlines will not be required to offer cash compensation to passengers for delays under their control.

This decision walks back a proposal set forth under the Biden administration, which explored mandatory compensation for domestic delays lasting over three hours.

The U.S. Transportation Department is retracting the proposal, aligning with the current administration's priorities despite facing opposition from the airline industry.
