Currently, airlines pay up to US$800 for involuntary bumping of passengers.
The new rules could come into effect later this year, along with other changes that require airlines to disclose baggage fees, as well as refunds and expense reimbursement when bags are not delivered on time.
Price increases after a ticket is purchased also would be prohibited. Foreign airlines also may be required to supply authorities with their procedures for returning passengers to terminals if they've been kept waiting on the tarmac for prolonged periods.
