US carriers say they "do a lot" to help the military

US Transportation (DoT) secretary Pete Buttigieg says major US airlines are refusing to commit to boost travel benefits for military personnel, specifically to “make clear and enforceable commitments to US service members and their families.”


Airlines for America, a trade group representing the largest US passenger airlines, said its members already offer more than the DoT measures on a 'dashboard' that shows whether or not airlines waive cancellation and change fees and give full refunds for service members and family who cancel or reschedule travel plans due to military orders.
