FLIGHT Act
The FLIGHT Act requires covered airlines to notify passengers via email or text every 15 minutes during domestic or international flight delays of 15+ minutes. It mandates that each notification include the updated departure/arrival time and an option to opt out of further alerts. This applies directly to travelers on affected flights and aims to improve communication during operational delays. The bill modifies existing aviation law to establish these specific notification standards for passenger information.
