Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights
This bill expands protections for passengers in air transportation.
Among other things, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to implement regulations relating to
The Federal Aviation Administration must (1) prohibit any air carrier from reducing seat size or leg room, and (2) report on the quality of food and potable water on passenger aircraft and the sufficiency of flight crews and aircraft.
The bill provides a private right of action for passengers aggrieved by airline actions and increases civil penalties on air carriers for violations of passenger protections.
