Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays
The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulatory impediments on the nation's airlines over four years.
According to the Office of Management and Budget, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg nearly tripled the number of transportation-related rules and regulations.
There's no evidence that all this added red tape made airline travel safer or reduced flight delays.
Trump's Transportation Agenda
Under Secretary Sean Duffy, Trump's approach is focused on airline deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.
- Airline deregulation is expected to lead to better service and lower fares.
- The Biden administration's philosophy was that airlines were profiteering from passengers.
The Biden administration could have learned from the airline deregulations of the late 1970s, which removed government controls on pricing and flight routes.
