WASHINGTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The Trump administration

said on Thursday it will not require airlines to pay passengers

cash compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by

carriers.

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

President Joe Biden sought public comment on the rulemaking

process about whether airlines should be required to pay

$200-$300 for domestic delays of at least three hours and up to

$775 for longer delays, which faced sharp criticism from U.S.

airlines.

The White House said in a document posted on Thursday that

USDOT plans to withdraw the notice "consistent with department

and administration priorities."
