Thank the Biden Admin for Standing Up for Airline Passengers

We applaud President Biden and the Department of Transportation (DOT) for their bold efforts to protect airline passengers by pushing for stronger consumer rights. The proposed rule would require airlines to compensate passengers for significant delays and cancellations caused by mechanical issues or airline-related computer outages. This is a crucial step toward ensuring accountability and fairness for travelers.

Under this proposal, passengers would receive cash compensation of up to $775 for extensive delays, mandatory rebooking on the next available flight, and reimbursement for meals, lodging, and transportation during disruptions. These measures prioritize the rights of passengers and reflect the administration’s commitment to improving the air travel experience for millions of Americans.

We also commend Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for his unwavering dedication to holding airlines accountable and protecting consumer rights. This initiative builds on previous actions by the Biden administration, such as automatic cash refunds for canceled flights, which have set a strong precedent for passenger protections.

Join us in thanking the Biden administration and Secretary Buttigieg for standing up for air travelers. Let’s show our support for these important reforms that put people first! Sign the petition today to ensure airlines are held to a higher standard of service and accountability.
