American Airlines is ending the practice of involuntarily removing passengers from flights. The carrier said it will instead ask employees to find volunteers, even if that means delaying flights or paying out more compensation.
The development was reported by Simple Flying, which notes that the airline is putting an end to involuntary bumping and aiming to rely on volunteers for denied boarding situations.
The report presents this as an operational policy, without mentioning official documents, a detailed timeline, or regulatory action. Further specifics on enforcement or timing are not included in the coverage.
