FLIGHT Act

This proposal would require airlines to clearly notify passengers when a flight is delayed. It amends federal aviation law to make sure people get timely, useful updates about delays, instead of being left in the dark at the gate or on their phones. The goal is to improve communication so travelers can make better plans when things don’t run on time.

Key points:

• Who’s affected: Airline passengers and airlines operating flights in the U.S.
• What changes: Airlines would be required to notify passengers about delayed flights, improving how and when delay information is shared
• Why it matters: Helps travelers know what’s going on and plan next steps during disruptions

Details like exact timing, how updates must be delivered, and enforcement are not provided in the available text.
