DOT REPORT OF DISABILITY-RELATED COMPLAINTS RECEIVED DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2021 DUE BY JANUARY 31, 2022
January 13, 2022
Each January carriers are required to submit an annual report to the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT” or the “Department”) which includes a categorized summary of all disability-related complaints received by the airline during the prior calendar year. The summary is to be submitted to the Department’s Aviation Consumer Protection Division (“DOT ACPD”) on or before the last Monday in January. This year’s report, covering calendar year 2021, is due no later than January 31, 2022. Carriers that did not receive any written disability-related complaints in calendar year 2021 are still required to file a zero report indicating that no complaints were received. Failure to comply with the reporting requirements can result in DOT taking enforcement action – DOT has penalized numerous carriers for failing to comply with this important reporting mandate.
