The FLIGHT Act requires airlines to notify passengers every 15 minutes when flights experience delays or taxi delays of 15 minutes or longer. Airlines must send these notifications by email or text message and include updated estimated departure and arrival times. The requirement applies to all domestic and international flights operated by major U.S. carriers. Passengers would have the option to opt out of receiving these recurring notifications. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines beyond the notification frequency standard.
