: TalkLeft2nd Circuit Tosses Passenger Bill of Rights Law
By Jeralyn
Does anyone not hate flying anymore? Remember the plight of the passengers stranded for hours on runways due to weather who were not be allowed to deplane?
Those experiences were part of what led to the New York's passage of the Passenger's Bill of Rights Law. Today, the Second Circuit ruled the law invalid:
A federal appeals court has rejected a law requiring airlines to provide food, water, clean toilets and fresh air to passengers trapped in a plane delayed on the ground.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that New York's new state law interferes with federal law governing the price, route or service of an air carrier. It was the first law in the nation of its kind.
The Court held only the feds have the power to make these kind of rules. The case is Air Transport Association v. Cuomo, 07-5771, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Manhattan).
