The United States Department of Transportation has signaled that a multi-billion dollar aid request from the nation's low-cost airline sector will require legislative action. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed the $2.5 billion proposal on Monday, noting that the executive branch does not have the independent authority to allocate such significant funds to help carriers manage rising jet fuel expenses.
