From Washington: A new federal rule changes how certain airline delays are classified. This change could impact whether travelers receive compensation for delays or cancellations. Currently, airlines typically provide compensation when significant delays or cancellations are deemed within their control.
The new rule lists ten items that will not be considered under the control of airlines, including unscheduled maintenance. This development comes as air travel consumer advocacy groups note an increase in delays, such as tarmac delays, over the past year.
Further details about the new rule and its potential effects on air travelers are available from the source. The Department of Transportation waived the public comment period before enacting the rule.
