WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Major U.S. airlines on Tuesday asked the U.S. Transportation Department to abandon a review launched by the Biden administration over whether carriers should be required to pay passengers compensation over flight disruptions.
Airlines for America, a trade group representing American Airlines, Delta Air Lines United Airlines, and others, urged the Trump administration to end the review launched in December to take comments on whether airlines in the United States should provide cash over carrier-caused disruptions like they are required to do in Europe and Canada. “Airlines do not need further incentive to provide quality service,” the group wrote.
