Background On May 24, 2012, the Department established an advisory committee on aviation consumer protection as mandated by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2012. The statutory termination date for the Committee was originally September 30, 2015, but has been extended several times, most recently by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018
2018 FAA Act to the current termination date of September 20, 2023.
The purpose of the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee is to evaluate existing aviation consumer protection programs and provide recommendations to the Secretary for improving and establishing additional aviation consumer protection programs.
Consumer protection inherently includes preventing unlawful discrimination against consumers.
Establishment of the AntiDiscrimination Subcommittee Airlines are prohibited from discriminating against passengers based on race, national origin, religion, ancestry, gender, gender identity and sexual orientation or as otherwise prohibited under 49 U.S.C. 40127a and 49 U.S.C. 41310. 49 U.S.C. 40127a states that U.S. and foreign air carriers may not subject a person in air transportation to discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or ancestry. In addition, 49 U.S.C.
41310a prohibits U.S. and foreign airlines from unreasonable discrimination against any person in foreign air transportation. The Department also interprets 49 U.S.C.
41712 which prohibits airlines and ticket agents from engaging in unfair and deceptive practices and unfair methods of competition and 49 U.S.C.
41702 which requires airlines to provide safe and adequate interstate air transportation as prohibiting discrimination against airline passengers. The Department is responsible for ensuring that airlines adhere to Federal non-discrimination laws.
The 2018 FAA Act requires the Department to develop best practices to improve airline nondiscrimination training policies in consultation with persons of diverse backgrounds in race, ethnicity, religion and gender, national organizations that represent those communities, airlines, airports and contract service providers. To help inform this effort, in August 2019, the U.S. Government Accountability Office GAO issued a report identifying key considerations for airline nondiscrimination training programs.
