Facts
In August 2023, Daniel Nasr filed a class action lawsuit against JetBlue Airways in Orange Superior, alleging breach of contract. According to Nasr, JetBlue's method of returning the "September 11 Security Fees" was a breach of federal law and its contract of carriage. Customers canceling their flights received JetBlue credit rather than refunded through the customer's original form of payment for the Security Fees.
Contentions
DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: After JetBlue removed the action to USDC Central, it sought dismissal, arguing that Nasr's breach of contract claim was preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act.
Result
The court agreed with defendant JetBlue, dismissing the case.
