US To Propose New Rules For Airline Cancellations, Delays

The Biden administration is working on new regulations that would require airlines to compensate passengers and cover meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the airline’s control.

The White House said President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will lay out the rulemaking process on Monday.

The rulemaking pledge continues a push by the Biden administration to require airlines to improve customer service, and it comes just weeks before the beginning of the peak summer travel season.
