Airline passenger rights just got worse
NEW YORK (AP) - March 25, 2008 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 appeals court said the new law was laudable but only the
federal government has the authority to enact such a regulation.
The law was challenged before the appeals court by the Air
Transport Association of America, the industry trade group
representing leading U.S. airlines.
