00:00The Trump administration has formally withdrawn a Biden-era proposal that would require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation for significant U.S. flight delays caused by carriers.
00:11The Transportation Department said the rules would create unnecessary regulatory burdens, despite calls from 18 Democratic senators urging the White House to keep the plan.
00:20Under the abandoned proposal, passengers could have received $200 to $775, depending on the length of the delay, similar to the compensation systems already used in the EU and other countries.
00:33Instead, the DOT said it wants airlines to compete on customer service without new mandates and is considering rolling back additional Biden-era consumer protection rules.
