CAN IT AVOID TURBULENCE?
In February 2025, the trade group Airlines for America and five air carriers — American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United — filed a lawsuit, arguing that some of the DOT’s new rules regarding protections for passengers with wheelchairs are unnecessary and an overreach.
As of press time, the DOT’s rules are still in effect.
In October 2024, the DOT showed that its commitment to safer, more inclusive air travel was more than lip service.
It levied a $50 million fine against American Airlines for violating laws
protecting passengers with disabilities, sending a signal to the industry that
poor treatment of passengers with disabilities would not be tolerated.
