AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require covered airlines to notify every passenger when a domestic or international flight has a departure delay or taxi delay of 15 minutes or more. The airline would have to send these notices by email or text message at least once every 15 minutes until the delay ends. Each notice would have to include the new estimated departure and arrival times. Each notice would also have to give passengers a way to opt out of further notices for that flight.
