Trump Reverses Biden's Approach to Flight Delays
The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulatory impediments on airlines, nearly tripling transportation-related rules and regulations under Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
However, there is no evidence that this added red tape made airline travel safer or reduced flight delays.
The Biden-Buttigieg philosophy was that airlines were ripping off passengers and gobbling up profits.
Trump's Transportation Agenda
Under! Secretary Sean Duffy, Trump's approach is focused on airline deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.
