Impactful Policy Frameworks
FAA Reauthorization Act of 2023 (Pending)
This proposed legislation aims to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the next five years, addressing air traffic control modernization, consumer protections, and aviation safety.
It will likely introduce new consumer protection mandates, potentially affecting airline overbooking policies and compensation requirements, directly impacting Volantio's 'Resolve Overbooking' solution.
DOT's Rule on Airline Ticket Refunds (2024)
The Department of Transportation (DOT) finalized a rule in 2024 requiring airlines to promptly issue automatic refunds for canceled or significantly delayed flights, or for significantly changed itineraries.
This rule increases financial liability for airlines in case of disruptions, potentially increasing the demand for Volantio's solutions that help proactively manage passenger disruptions and re-accommodations.
Clean Air Act Amendments (Ongoing Interpretations/State-level Initiatives)
While not a new standalone act, ongoing interpretations and state-level initiatives related to the Clean Air Act are increasingly scrutinizing aviation emissions, leading to pressure for sustainable practices.
Increased focus on environmental sustainability will drive airlines to seek operational efficiencies and potentially invest in carbon reduction technologies, aligning with Volantio's efficiency-enhancing capabilities and potential for future expansion into carbon-aware optimization.
