The Trump administration scrapped a Biden-era proposal that would have forced airlines to pay travelers up to $775 in cash for major flight disruptions within the carrier’s control.

The Transportation Department confirmed the reversal in a notice published on Monday, saying it pulled back the advance notice of proposed rule-making issued in December 2024. That proposal would have mandated cash payments for long delays and cancellations, along with guaranteed meals, hotel rooms, limited ground transportation, and other essentials for passengers delayed three hours or more.
