After a series of high-profile incidents, the Obama administration announced today that it would begin to fine U.S. airlines for lengthy tarmac delays.
The new rules released by the Transportation Department would prohibit airlines from leaving passengers stuck on a runway for more than three hours, and would require that passengers be provided snacks and water during such delays. Airlines would be fined $27,500 per passenger for violations.
