The Trump administration has officially abandoned the Biden-era plan to require airlines to provide cash compensation to passengers for delayed or canceled flights. This decision has significant implications for travelers, particularly amid ongoing disruptions in air travel. Critics argue that the decision strips flyers of their rights, potentially costing them up to $775 in compensation during one of the worst delay crises in history. The USDOT confirmed the cancellation of the airline compensation rule, which was aimed at ensuring accountability from airlines towards their customers. As a result, travelers will no longer be entitled to reimbursements for flight disruptions, a move that has sparked considerable controversy and debate.
