WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's

administration said on Friday it was formally withdrawing a plan

by his predecessor to require airlines to pay passengers cash

compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by

carriers.

In December 2024, the U.S. Transportation Department under

then-President Joe Biden sought public comment on writing rules

to require airlines should to pay $200 to $300 for domestic

delays of at least three hours and up to $775 for longer delays.

In September, USDOT first disclosed it planned to withdraw the

proposal. On Friday, USDOT said the rules would result in

"unnecessary regulatory burdens" in explaining why it would not

go forward.
