The U.S. Department of Transportation has announced a review of major U.S. airlines to assess how they handle passengers' personal information and how it is shared.
Federal officials said Thursday they will review how airlines protect personal information about their passengers and whether they are making money by sharing that information with other parties. The U.S. Department of Transportation said its review will focus on the 10 biggest U.S. airlines and cover their collection, handling and use of information about customers.
' In announcing the review, the Transportation Department did not make allegations against any of the carriers or cite any events that might have prompted the move. A spokesman said it is being done 'proactively' to help the department determine how to protect passengers' information.
