(Photo by Jevone Moor Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said Wednesday that more government regulations could lead to higher ticket prices. "There's no question if there is another layer of government regulation and cost that's introduced into the system, it'll eventually find its way back into ticket prices," Bastian said during an interview with "CBS Mornings." It's "common business logic," he added. In April, airline fares dropped about 2.6% from March after four months of increases, according to government data. DELTA DISCLOSES RECORD ADVANCE SUMMER BOOKINGSRepresentatives for Delta Air Lines declined to comment further. Earlier this month, President Biden said his administration will write new regulations requiring major carriers to compensate travelers and cover their meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the airline’s control.This is in addition to ticket refunds for passengers when the airline is at fault for canceling or significantly delaying a flight. INTERNATIONAL AIRFARE PRICES SURGE PAST 2019 LEVELSBiden noted that travelers "deserve more than just getting the price of your ticket (refunded) — you deserve to be fully compensated.

In Colorado River talks, still no agreement about water cuts
BOULDER CITY, Nev. - The Biden administration released an environmental analysis Tuesday of competing plans for how seven Western states and tribes reliant on the dwindling water supply from the Colorado River should cut their use but declined to publicly take a side on the best option.On one side is California and some tribes along the river that want to protect their high-priority rights to the river’s water, which they use for drinking and farming. On the other side are the other six states — Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico — who say it’s time to come up with an approach that more fairly shares the river.The Interior Department did not say how states should get to deeper water cuts, but defended its authority to make sure basic needs such as drinking water and hydropower generated from the river are met — even if it means setting aside the priority system."Failure is not an option," Interior Deputy Secretary Tommy Beaudreau told The Associated Press.The 1,450-mile (2,334-kilometer) powerhouse of the West serves 40 million people across seven states, which span tribal land, and Mexico, generates hydroelectric power for regional markets, and irrigates nearly 6 million acres (2,428 hectares) of farmland.A multi-decade drought in the West intensified by climate change, rising demand and overuse has sent water levels at key reservoirs along the river to unprecedented lows.
