Airline Deregulation Act

“The Airline Deregulation Act is federal legislation enacted in 1978 that eliminated government regulation of airline routes, schedules, and pricing, transferring control to market forces and competition.”

This landmark law fundamentally changed commercial aviation by removing the Civil Aeronautics Board's authority over airline operations. While it increased competition and reduced ticket prices, it also shifted responsibility for safety standards and passenger protection.

The Act impacts how injury claims are handled, as it affects which laws apply when passengers suffer harm during air travel. Understanding these regulations is crucial for determining liability and pursuing compensation after airline accidents.
