In Committee

Summary

Lowers the threshold that defines a "significantly delayed or changed flight". It would require the Secretary of Transportation to amend 14 CFR §260.2 so shorter delays meet that regulatory definition.

Show full summary
  • Air travelers would have domestic delays counted as significant after 2 hours and international delays after 5 hours.
  • Airlines and carriers would be subject to the new 2-hour domestic and 5-hour international thresholds once the Department of Transportation issues the regulatory changes.
  • The Department of Transportation would have 180 days after enactment to issue the necessary regulations to amend section 260.2 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations.

Analyzed Economic Effects

More flight delays count as significant for passengers

If enacted, DOT would update its rules within 180 days. A domestic flight would be "significantly delayed" at 2 hours late, down from 3. An international flight would be "significantly delayed" at 5 hours late, down from 6. More delays would meet this standard, which could make it easier for passengers to seek remedies under existing DOT policies.
