The Biden administration's proposal aims to enhance airline consumer protections by requiring cash compensation for stranded passengers, aligning more closely with European standards.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized the urgency of new protections as air travel hits record levels and noted that current promises lack federal enforceability.
The airline industry argues that the proposed regulations will lead to increased ticket prices, contending that carriers already face competitive pressures to provide quality service.
With the impending transition to the Trump administration, the future of these proposed regulations remains uncertain, leaving significant changes in airline policies in limbo.
