The 2024 FAA reauthorization, approved by an 88‑4 bipartisan vote, added ten new scenarios—such as cyberattacks and volcanic ash clouds—where delays are considered outside an airline’s control, allowing carriers to deny compensation for those events.
The Department of Transportation said the amendment was required by law and affirmed its intent to hold airlines accountable for passenger compensation in other circumstances.
