US President Joe Biden wants US airlines to pay stranded passengers
A group representing big airlines argues carriers "have no incentive to delay or cancel a flight"US President Joe Biden says he wants to implement new compensation rules for airline passengers impacted by flight delays or cancellations.
It comes just a few weeks after Mr Biden confirmed he will be running for re-election in 2024, and just ahead of the peak summer travel season. The rules would also aim at defining what falls under a "controllable cancellation or delay" that is the fault of the carrier. In response, many major US airlines volunteered to provide meals and hotel rooms for customers who are stranded by delays that are in the airline's control.
