The chief executive of Delta Air Lines says the incoming Trump administration will be a “breath of fresh air” for airlines after what he called government “overreach” under President Joe Biden.

Biden’s Department of Transportation has gone after ‘junk fees’ and aimed to make refunds for flight cancellations easier. Airlines may now be expecting a reversal. It’s not just Silicon Valley billionaires who are eager to usher in a second Trump administration.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said the Trump administration's approach to regulation could be a "breath of fresh air." Speaking to reporters ahead of Delta's investor day, Bastian noted that President-elect Donald Trump campaigned saying he would take a "fresh look" at regulation and bureaucracy.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian called President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration a "breath of fresh air."

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian doesn’t really like to talk politics, but welcomes a Trump administration that he perceives will have less ‘overreach’ of the aviation industry. That doesn’t necessarily mean less oversight or less scrutiny, mind you. It just means less intervention in some matters.

Delta and other airline carriers are suing Biden's Transportation Department to kill a rule requiring greater transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers.
