FINAL REMINDER: DOT ANNUAL DISABILITY REPORTS DUE JANUARY 30, 2023
January 22, 2023
As a final reminder, annual reports including a categorized summary of all disability-related complaints received by airlines in 2022 must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (“DOT”) Aviation Consumer Protection Division by next Monday, January 30, 2023.
Carriers that did not receive any written disability-related complaints in calendar year 2022 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 historically penalized carriers for failing to comply with this important reporting mandate.
