Trump Administration Scraps Cash Payments for Delayed or Canceled Flights

The Trump administration has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule that would have mandated airlines to provide cash payments of up to $775 for significant flight disruptions. This rule, which was introduced a year ago, also included guarantees for meals, lodging, and some ground transportation for air travelers facing delays of more than three hours. The decision halts protections that would have financially compensated passengers affected by delayed or canceled flights.
