WEBINAR: Making Sense of DOT's Final Rule on Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections #3


Event Details

DATE: Tuesday, November 1, 2016
TIME: 3:00pm EDT

The webinar will feature Jonathon Foglia and Barbara Marrin of Zuckert, Scoutt & Rasenberger, LLP. They will cover several aviation consumer protection initiatives released by the U.S. Department of Transportation on October 18, 2016, including a new final rule addressing code-share disclosures and undisclosed display biasing of airline flight information by ticket agents (including tour operators).  

Jonathon and Barbara also will provide an update on the status of a large DOT rulemaking project commenced in May 2014, including a pending proposal to require “large travel agencies” to adopt and adhere to minimum customer service standards in areas such as ticket refunds; reservation cancellations; communicating carrier-initiated itinerary changes; and the handling of customer complaints.
