WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Major U.S. airlines oppose plans by the U.S. Transportation Department to update a government dashboard to show if carriers will voluntarily compensate passengers for lengthy delays within airlines control, a trade group told Reuters on Friday.
This is the latest effort by the U.S. Transportation Department (USDOT) to prod the airline industry into voluntarily committing to provide compensation and other benefits to passengers impacted by flight problems.
