The ON TIME Act requires airlines to notify passengers about flight delays caused by maintenance issues or crew rest requirements, with an estimated duration of the delay. If an airline cannot immediately provide an estimate, it must tell passengers that an estimate is not yet available and provide one as soon as possible. Airlines must communicate these notices through multiple channels: airport public address announcements, display boards at gates, and direct notifications via text, email, and their mobile apps. The bill applies when there is no replacement aircraft or crew available to cover the delayed flight. The legislation affects all airlines providing scheduled passenger service but does not include any specific funding or implementation timeline beyond requiring these notification requirements to take effect.
