Number One in June cancellations!
The latest US Department of Transportation Air Travel Consumer Report (ATCR) on airline operational data compiled for the month of June and for the second quarter of 2022 shows a 35% increase in air travel service complaints from May to June. Complaints are up nearly 270% compared to pre-pandemic levels.
DOT uses the data from the ATCR, consumer complaints, and other information it secures from the airlines to inform its enforcement activities and the adequacy of existing rules. Judging by DOT’s own data, clearly its so-called rules from its Office of Aviation Consumer Protection are ineffective to laughable in AutoInformed’s view. However if you are in the automobile business, it’s an incentive to use vehicles for your transportation needs. Free marketing from the Airline industry and the US Government.
The 583,584 flights operated in June 2022 were 85.8% of the 679,802 flights operated in pre-pandemic June 2019 as the Biden Administration recovery continues. Operated flights in June 2022 were up 3.4% year-over-year from the 564,583 flights operated in June 2021 and down 1.3% month-over-month from the 590,957 flights operated in May 2022.
US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been urging airlines to improve their customer service plans. Better yet, he has announced DOT will create an interactive dashboard before Labor Day to make it easier for the traveling people to determine the services such as hotels and meals that would be provided to them when the cause of a cancellation or a lengthy delay was due to circumstances within the airline’s control.
