The DOT pauses 2024 airline refund rule over merger and FAA issues, with review due by February.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has temporarily paused enforcement of a 2024 rule requiring airlines to issue refunds when flight numbers are changed, citing operational challenges following airline mergers and FAA compliance needs.
The pause, effective immediately and lasting until June 30, applies when passengers are rebooked on the same flight without significant changes or delays.
The DOT will reassess the rule through a formal process, with a final decision expected in February after a public comment period.
The move follows requests from carriers arguing the current definition of a canceled flight is overly broad and not legally grounded.
