The Enhancing Transparency from Airlines Act of 2025 requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to strengthen airline passenger protections and establish new compensation rules for significant flight delays. The bill codifies two existing Transportation Department rules from 2024 that address airline refunds, consumer protections, and the disclosure of ancillary service fees like baggage charges. Additionally, the legislation mandates that airlines compensate passengers with $200 to $500 for domestic flights delayed more than three hours or international flights delayed more than six hours, with compensation amounts scaled based on delay length. This bill affects all airline passengers and applies to U.S. air carriers. The legislation has no specific funding appropriations mentioned and does not establish a particular implementation timeline beyond requiring the Secretary of Transportation to issue the compensation regulations.
