The Biden Administration is advancing a proposed rule that would require US airlines to provide compensation to passengers for controllable cancellations or delays of three hours or more.
This proposed compensation scheme would mean US airlines would have to pay a set cash payment amount to each passenger on a disrupted flight, in addition to compensation for meals and lodging.
When an airline cancels a flight because of mechanical or staffing issues, the passengers should receive compensation for their troubles, says Senator Edward Markey.
Countries like Canada, India, and Australia already have established delay compensation rules, signaling a shift in global consumer protection trends in aviation.
