Trump Stops Biden’s Euro-Style Solution to Flight Delays and Paves Way To Lower Fares

Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays

The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulations on airlines, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg nearly tripling the number of transportation-related rules.

However, there is no evidence that these regulations improved safety or reduced flight delays.

The Biden-Buttigieg philosophy was that airlines were ripping off passengers and gobbling up profits.

Trump's Transportation Agenda

Under Secretary Sean Duffy, Trump's approach focuses on airline deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.

This approach is reminiscent of the airline deregulations of the late 1970s, which allowed airlines to set their own prices and routes, leading to better service and lower fares.
