Domestic Baggage Liability

The Department is proposing to amend its rule governing the amount by which certain U.S. air carriers may limit their liability to passengers for lost, damaged, and delayed baggage. This action is in response to a petition by Public Citizen and Aviation Consumer Action Project to increase the minimum liability limit from $1,250 to $1,850 per passenger. The Department is also requesting comment on two alternate proposals: (1) to raise the minimum limit to $1,850 with a mechanism that automatically provides for periodic future increases, or (2) to raise the minimum liability limit to $2,000.
