The Department of Transportation has proposed relaxing a federal rule that forces airlines to accommodate, free of charge, people traveling with pets classified as emotional-support animals.
According to the Department of Transportation website, airline companies would now have the authority to “treat emotional support animals, which are not trained to do work or perform a task for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability, as pets.” The rule change, which is currently undergoing a 60-day public comment period, would not apply to service dogs.
