Major airlines urge Trump administration to abandon passenger compensation review

WASHINGTON: 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.
