ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Trump administration has decided to abandon a plan that would have required airlines to compensate passengers stranded due to carrier-caused delays. This means travelers will not receive refunds if their flights are delayed because of the airline.
The proposed rule would have mandated airlines to provide cash, lodging, and meals to passengers affected by such delays.

Melissa Petersen, a manager for AAA, expressed uncertainty about the issues with the proposed protections, stating airlines ” got a little crazy with not providing protections.”
Petersen also mentioned that some airlines might blame maintenance issues on the weather to avoid taking responsibility.
Spirit Airlines commented that the proposed rule could increase operating costs and lead to higher ticket prices.
Andy Seckinger, a traveler who has experienced several flight delays, shared his perspective.
“I’d want something to take care of it. Depending on the situation. If it’s going to be an overnight thing, I would expect they’re going to help you,” Seckinger said.
The Trump administration’s Department of Transportation stated that scrapping the proposed rule aligns with the department’s and administration’s policies.
