WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. airlines reported three tarmac delays in September under new reporting rules, the Department of Transportation said Thursday.
As of Aug. 23, airlines that have "at least one aircraft with 30 or more passenger seats," are required to report any delays of three hours or more in which passengers are stuck in planes for domestic fights for more than three hours. For international flights, the rules apply for passengers stuck on the tarmac for more than four hours.
