S.1679

FLIGHT Act requires airlines to notify passengers of flight delays every 15 minutes.

The FLIGHT Act, or Frequent Logistics Information for Grounded and Held Travelers Act, amends title 49 of the United States Code to mandate that airlines notify passengers of flight delays of 15 minutes or more. Notifications must occur at least every 15 minutes until the delay ends, sent via email or text message. Each notification must include the new estimated time of departure and arrival, and provide a way for passengers to opt out of further notifications.
