The chief executive of Delta Air Lines says the incoming Trump administration will be a “breath of fresh air” for airlines after what he called government “overreach” under President Joe Biden.

Biden’s Department of Transportation has gone after ‘junk fees’ and aimed to make refunds for flight cancellations easier. Airlines may now be expecting a reversal. It’s not just Silicon Valley billionaires who are eager to usher in a second Trump administration.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian said the last four years were marked by governmental "overreach." The Buttigieg-led DOT has added new rules aimed at protecting consumers, and Delta is under investigation for its handling of the CrowdStrike outage this summer that stranded thousands of customers.

Delta CEO Ed Bastion has welcomed the incoming Donald Trump administration as a “breath of fresh air” in anticipation that regulations will be relaxed.

Delta and other airline carriers are suing Biden's Transportation Department to kill a rule requiring greater transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers.
