On March 1, 2026, the following amendments to the Federal Aviation Regulations came into force:

Additional requirements have been established for carriers to inform passengers. Thus, it is stipulated that passengers must be provided with the following information when booking tickets:
- on the terms of the passenger air carriage agreement, the change of which is not permitted by the terms of application of the tariff;
- on the procedure for transporting children under two years of age without providing them with individual seats;
- on the procedure for passengers travelling with a child (children) under 12 years of age to select an accompanying passenger who must be provided with passenger seats adjacent to this child (these children);
- on the procedure for a passenger to change the air carriage agreement, including the procedure for a passenger to refuse air carriage on one of the sections of the air carriage route.
The duration of a flight delay that is grounds for a passenger‘s forced refusal of carriage or a forced change of the carriage agreement by the passenger (in which case no additional payment is charged) has been specified. A flight delay of more than 30 minutes is now considered a delay.
The list of items that can be carried as carry-on baggage in excess of the allowance and without an additional fee has been adjusted.
