Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
The End Airline Extortion Act would prohibit airlines from paying employees or contractors bonuses or incentives based on how many passengers they pressure into paying extra fees for baggage, seating, or other add-on services. The bill also bars airlines from charging different prices for the same flight and service based on protected characteristics such as disability status, family status, or other legally protected categories. The legislation applies to both domestic and foreign airlines operating in the U.S. and does not prevent airlines from offering discounted or free fares for minor children. The bill was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, with no specific funding or implementation timeline provided in the text.
