President Biden will direct the Transportation Department on Monday to look into whether airlines should pay passengers for flight delays in addition to refunds and other amenities.
At a White House event alongside Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Mr. Biden will formally kick off the rule-making process aimed at addressing inconveniences experienced by passengers because of airline cancellations or significant delays.
Under the EU rule, passengers are entitled to compensation from 250 euros to 600 euros depending on the length of the flight and delay as long as the flight was not nixed due to “extraordinary circumstances” such as weather. The initiatives come after Southwest Airlines canceled more than 60% of its flights across two days in December 2022. That was followed by a massive systemwide “reset” on Dec. 26 that canceled thousands more flights.
