AIRLINE PASSENGERS BILL OF RIGHTS
Airline Passengers Bill of Rights legislation requires airlines to adhere to certain customer-service procedures when planes full of people sit on runways for hours during extended delays. The bill requires airlines to ensure that travelers are not unnecessarily trapped on board airplanes for excessive periods of time, deprived of food, water or adequate restrooms during delays. The airlines fiercely fought this legislation, the brainchild of Kate Hanni, a California woman who was stranded with her husband and son for almost ten hours on a parked plane in Texas in late 2006, along with thousands of other passengers on flights affected by bad weather. Hanni has spent years organizing a grassroots coalition to press for the legislation. She's also tirelessly worked the halls of Congress and various state legislatures.
