Trump Administration Scraps Airline Compensation Plan | JQJO

The Trump administration has revoked a Biden-era plan mandating airline compensation for flight disruptions. The plan, mirroring European standards, would have required airlines to provide cash, lodging, and meals for cancellations or significant delays due to carrier issues. The Trump administration deemed the rule burdensome and unnecessary. Airlines, like Spirit, opposed the rule citing increased costs and potential price hikes for passengers. The decision aligns with the Trump administration's broader regulatory rollback efforts.
