Buttigieg ‘speechless’ as airlines sue over new fee rules

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed shock over a lawsuit by major airlines challenging a new rule mandating the disclosure of extra fees before ticket purchase. The lawsuit, filed by Airlines for America and several major airlines, argues that the rule will overwhelm consumers with excessive information. The Department of Transportation has vowed to defend the rule, emphasizing its role in preventing hidden fees and saving passengers significant money annually.
