The federal government ordered airlines accepting financial aid to maintain minimal service levels to cities they served before the Covid-19 pandemic ravaged the transportation system, but made adjustments for low-cost carriers and those that fly to some destinations only part of the year.
The US Department of Transportation eased some requirements it made in a proposal after airlines and other industry groups asked for more flexibility.
The final order was a regulatory win for ultra low-cost carriers such as Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Travel, which would have been forced to make hundreds of new flights beyond their normal schedules to satisfy the department’s proposed rule.
