The Trump administration is abandoning a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to compensate passengers stranded by flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier with cash, lodging and meals. The plan was proposed last December in the waning days of the Biden administration.

The Department of Transportation announced plans to scrap the proposed rule, part of a push by the administration to roll back or modify federal regulations that it considers wasteful or burdensome “consistent with Department and administration priorities.”

The proposed rules would have included compensation ranging from $200-$300 for domestic delays of at least three hours up to $750-$775 for delays of nine hours or more. The proposal could also have required airlines to provide meals and overnight lodging, along with rules spelling out what must be covered and for how long.

The proposals would have aligned US policy more closely with requirements for European airline.

US airlines are already required refund passengers for canceled flights, but rules on compensating customers for delays are up to each carrier and there are no consistent standards for food or lodging reimbursements.

Airlines for America, the industry trade association, had fiercely opposed the Biden-era rule making, warning the cash compensation plan would have raised ticket prices. In a statement, the group said, “We are encouraged by the Department of Transportation reviewing unnecessary and burdensome regulations that exceed its authority and don’t solve issues important to our customers.”
