What does the bill do?

The bill adds a new section to the Aviation Services Law requiring an operator or organizer of a flight whose time was changed or that was canceled to send a notice to the passenger through three different channels simultaneously: a text message (SMS), an email message, and messages through an app (such as WhatsApp) or a telephone service center. A notice will be considered delivered only if the company received confirmation of its receipt from the passenger.
