Bill > HR5579

This bill, known as the Enhancing Transparency from Airlines Act of 2025 (ETA Act of 2025), requires the Secretary of Transportation to codify and implement two specific rules related to airline consumer protections: the "Refunds and Other Consumer Protections" rule and the "Enhancing Transparency of Airline Ancillary Service Fees" rule. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary issue new regulations requiring airlines to provide financial compensation to passengers experiencing significant flight delays. For domestic flights, airlines must compensate passengers who arrive at their destination 3 or more hours late, and for international flights, the compensation threshold is 6 or more hours late. The compensation amount would range from $200 to $500, depending on the length of the delay. By establishing these regulations, the bill aims to enhance transparency in the airline industry and provide clearer protections for passengers experiencing substantial travel disruptions.
