WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - A group of 18 Democratic

senators urged the Trump administration to reconsider its

announcement to drop a plan by the prior administration to

require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight

disruptions are caused by carriers.

In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation under

then-President Joe Biden sought public comment in a regulatory

proceeding about whether airlines should be required to pay up

to $775 for delays that they cause. USDOT announced last month

it planned to drop the compensation plan and that is considering

rescinding Biden regulations requiring airlines and ticket

agents to disclose service fees alongside airfares.
