Airline Resilience Mandate: Reducing Flight Delays and Cancellations.
This law requires major air carriers to develop operational resiliency strategies to minimize the impact of disruptions, such as severe weather or IT failures, on passengers. The goal is to ensure airlines are better prepared to maintain stable operations, directly resulting in fewer delays and cancellations for travelers. These strategies must also address IT system readiness and adequate staffing for crisis management.
Key points
Airlines must create detailed readiness plans for major disruptions (e.g., weather, IT failures) to protect passengers from delays and cancellations.
Plans must specifically address cybersecurity risks, staffing models, and the preparedness of crew scheduling systems to handle operational stress.
The effectiveness of these new airline strategies will be independently audited by the Comptroller General within three years of the law's enactment.
