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

Trump Stops Biden’s Euro-Style Solution to Flight Delays

The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulatory impediments on the nation’s airlines over four years.

An analysis by the Office of Management and Budget found that Biden’s 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.

The Biden-Buttigieg philosophy was that airlines were exploiting passengers and accumulating profits.

Trump's Transportation Agenda

Under Secretary Sean Duffy, Trump's transportation agenda focuses on Airline Deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.

This approach draws from the successful airline deregulations of the late 1970s, which removed government controls on pricing and flight routes.
