Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays
The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulatory restrictions on airlines over four years.
An analysis by the Office of Management and Budget found that 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 based on the successful airline deregulations of the late 1970s.
