Airlines call for scrapping of passenger compensation review


Airlines call for scrapping of passenger compensation review

Tuesday, 11 Feb, 2025 1

Airlines are urging the Trump Administration to scrap the review for airline compensation.

The last Administration proposed set rules for compensation to customers over flight disruptions.

The US Transportation Department launched a consultation on whether airlines should be liable for passenger compensation for certain non-weather related disruptions.

US airlines want it abandoned now, claiming the financial burden would be immense, effectively increasing the cost of airfares.

The DOT proposed airlines should pay $200-$300 for domestic delays of at least three hours, $375-$525 for six-hour delays, and $750-$775 for delays of at least nine hours.

Trade group Airlines for America called on the Trump Administration to scrap the review.

“Airlines do not need further incentive to provide quality service,”: A4A said.

Former-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg introduced the review in December that ‘would change the economic incentive in a way that motivates airlines to do more.’
