The Biden administration is proposing regulations to require airlines to provide cash compensation and cover lodging for stranded passengers, significantly enhancing consumer protections.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized the need for new passenger protections as air travel attendance is reaching record highs, indicating a shift towards strengthening consumer rights.
Airlines for America responded to the proposal by cautioning that further regulations could inflate ticket prices, asserting that the industry already competes effectively to provide quality service.
The proposal could lead to cash compensation of up to $775 for flights delayed nine hours or more, aiming to establish more accountability in the airline industry.
