Appeals Court: Airlines Can Let Passengers Rot without Food during Delay

Mar 25th, 2008 | By Jared Blank

A federal appeals court has overturned New York’s law requiring airlines to provide food and toilets during a long flight delay.  If it makes you feel better, the court said that the idea of the law was good, but that only the federal government has the right to pass such legislation.  Don’t look for Congress to pass a similar measure any time soon.
