Airline Passenger Compensation Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to issue rules within one year requiring airlines to pay compensation to passengers whose domestic or international flights are significantly delayed or canceled for reasons within the airline's control. Passengers arriving more than 3 but less than 9 hours late would receive up to $300, and those arriving 9 or more hours late would receive up to $775. In both cases, passengers who miss a connecting flight would be rebooked on the next available flight at no extra cost. These compensation rules would be separate from existing federal refund requirements.
