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 updates via email or text message and include the new estimated departure and arrival times, with an option for passengers to opt out of notifications. The bill applies to all covered air carriers operating both domestic and international flights. This legislation aims to keep stranded or delayed passengers informed about flight status changes, addressing a gap in current passenger communication requirements. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the bill text.
