US Air Passenger Rights Group Challenges New Disruption Classification
FlyersRights, a US air passenger rights organization, has filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Transportation (DOT) over new rules on reporting the causes of flight delays and cancellations. The organization believes that the DOT exceeded its authority and introduced the rule without proper public comment. The changes could result in passengers bearing the costs of meals, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation in the event of schedule disruptions. The lawsuit was reported by AeroTime.
