The Biden plan for airline compensation to delayed passengers has been nixed by the Trump administration. The rule, which had not been fully implemented, was announced by the Biden administration in 2023. Those trade associations, including the International Air Transport Association and the U.S. airline trade group Airlines 4 America, pushed back, saying that the Biden administration was attempting to wield regulatory authority it didn’t have. Delays for weather events, political unrest, or terrorism—causes deemed outside of airline control—would not be included in compensation requirements. The U.S. airline industry was deregulated by an act of Congress in 1978, which prohibited the government from regulating airline scheduling and fares.
