    The Department of Transportation (DOT) plans to renew its request for collecting data on airline performance, focusing on on-time performance and mishandled baggage reports. The largest U.S. air carriers are required to submit this information monthly, which helps the DOT analyze flight delays, baggage handling, and air traffic efficiency. The collected data aids consumers in comparing airlines and assists the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in evaluating airport operations. Public comments on this proposal are invited until February 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Transportation wants big airlines to tell them how often flights are on time and how many bags get lost, so everyone can compare airlines better. They want people to share their thoughts about this plan by the end of February 2025.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has extended the rule that prohibits certain U.S. flights over Libya due to ongoing safety risks. This final rule will remain effective until March 20, 2028, as the FAA cites ongoing political and security instability. The prohibition covers U.S. air carriers, commercial operators, and others, except under specific circumstances involving foreign carriers. The FAA finds the extension necessary to protect U.S. civil aviation due to challenges like airspace deconfliction and the presence of advanced weaponry controlled by various factions within Libya.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure that planes from the U.S. don't fly over Libya because it's not safe there, and they're keeping this rule until 2028 to protect everyone.
