Summary
The bill orders the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations that obligate airlines to pay passengers when a flight is delayed or cancelled for reasons the carrier controls. It applies to both domestic and international flights and sets two compensation tiers based on the length of the delay. The goal is to give travelers clearer, enforceable rights when they are stranded by airline actions.
