Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays
The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulatory impediments on the nation's airlines over four years.
According to the Office of Management and Budget, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg nearly tripled the number of transportation-related rules and regulations.
There's no evidence that all this added red tape made airline travel safer or reduced flight delays.
Trump's Transportation Agenda
Under Secretary Sean Duffy, the Trump administration is pursuing airline deregulation, aiming for better service and lower costs.
- Airline deregulation will liberate airlines from government controls on pricing and flight routes.
- This approach is inspired by the successful airline deregulations of the late 1970s.
The Biden-Buttigieg philosophy was that airlines were exploiting passengers and accumulating profits, but Trump's approach may lead to lower fares and improved services.
