SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background Current Rule On April 25, 2011, the Department published the Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections rule to improve the air travel environment for passengers.1 Under this rule, carriers are required to adopt and adhere to tarmac delay contingency plans. DOTs regulations require that these plans contain assurances that covered carriers will not allow aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than 3 hours for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights without providing passengers the option to deplane, subject to exceptions related to safety, security, and Air Traffic Control related reasons. Carriers plans must also contain assurances that carriers will provide adequate food and drinking water within 2 hours of the aircraft being delayed on the tarmac, provide notifications regarding the status of the delay and the opportunity to deplane if the opportunity to deplane exists, maintain operable lavatories and, if necessary, provide medical attention.
FAA Extension, Safety and Security Act Section 2308 of the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016, Public Law 114190 FAA Extension Act requires the Department to issue regulations and take other actions necessary to carry out the amendments made by Section 2308. These amendments include new language requiring air carriers to begin to return an aircraft to a suitable disembarkation point no later than 3 or 4 hours after the main aircraft door is closed for departure. In response to the FAA
Extension Act, the Departments Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings renamed the Office of Aviation Consumer Protection, or OACP issued an Enforcement Policy on Extended Tarmac Delays Enforcement Policy 2 on November 22, 2016. The Enforcement Policy states that, as a matter of enforcement discretion, the Department will not take enforcement action against U.S. and 1 Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections Rule, 76 FR 23110, Apr. 25, 2011.
