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 regulatory impediments on airlines over four years.

An analysis by the Office of Management and Budget found that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg nearly tripled transportation-related rules and regulations.

There's no evidence that all this added red tape made airline travel safer or reduced flight delays.

The Biden administration's philosophy was that airlines were exploiting passengers and accumulating profits.

Trump's Transportation Agenda

Under Secretary Sean Duffy, Trump's agenda focuses on airline deregulation, aiming for better 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.
