The Biden administration imposed a record number of new regulations on airlines, nearly tripling the number of transportation-related rules under Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Under Secretary Sean Duffy, the Trump administration is pursuing airline deregulation, aiming to improve service and lower costs.
This approach is expected to yield better results, as the previous deregulation led to improved services and lower fares.
