Trump administration withdraws Biden-era plan for mandatory airline delay compensation
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 US flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
In December 2024, the US 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.
