Trump Stops Biden’s Euro-Style Solution to Flight Delays and Paves Way To Lower Fares

Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays

The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulations on airlines, nearly tripling the number of transportation-related rules under Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Despite this, there is no evidence that the added regulations made airline travel safer or reduced flight delays.

The Biden-Buttigieg philosophy was that airlines were ripping off passengers and gobbling up profits.

Trump's Transportation Agenda

Under Secretary Sean Duffy, the Trump administration is pursuing airline deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.

This approach is reminiscent of the airline deregulations of the late 1970s, which removed government controls on pricing and flight routes, ultimately benefiting airlines and passengers.
