Similar Stories to Airline “bumping” Of Passengers Falls To Lowest Rate Ever on Bing News

Airlines bumped passengers off flights at the lowest rate on record last year after United Airlines was pilloried when a passenger was dragged off a full plane. The Transportation Department said Thursday that airlines bumped about one passenger in every 29,000 in 2017, roughly half the rate of the year before. The figures don’t count passengers who accept travel vouchers or other offers to voluntarily give up their seat on an oversold flight.
