US senators want airlines to pay passengers cash for long delays

Reuters12-04 23:48

Dec 4 (Reuters) - A group of 15 Democratic senators proposed legislation Thursday to require airlines to provide cash compensation if carriers cause significant delays.

The senators led by Mark Kelly, Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal are proposing to mandate compensation in line with European Union and Canadian requirements, including mandating at least $300 for a delay of more than 3 hours and at least $600 for a delay of six hours or more.

The proposal comes after the administration of President Donald Trump on Nov. 14 withdrew a plan by his predecessor to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
