49 U.S.C. § 42304: Widespread disruptions

provide for hotel accommodations; arrange for ground transportation; provide meal vouchers; arrange for air transportation on another air carrier or foreign air carrier to the passenger’s destination; and provide for sleeping facilities inside the airport terminal. The term “widespread disruption” means, with respect to a covered air carrier, the interruption of all or the overwhelming majority of the air carrier’s systemwide flight operations, including flight delays and cancellations, as the result of the failure of 1 or more computer systems or computer networks of the air carrier. The term “covered air carrier” means an air carrier that provides scheduled passenger air transportation by operating an aircraft that as originally designed has a passenger capacity of 30 or more seats. Nothing in this section may be construed to modify, abridge, or repeal any obligation of an air carrier under section 42301.
