Airlines will now have to pay out compensation to passengers for cancellations, delays, overbooked aircraft etc etc. I think it will be set out in various tiers like travelling under xx miles with two hour delay £200 compensation, travelling over xx miles with 4 hour delay £419 compensation.
What do you all think about this?? It could stop alot of people flying if the LoCo’s start to push the price up in order to meet the payments.
Do you think it would be possible for passengers to subscribe to it i.e, if you want the option of compensation pay a higher ticket price, if you’re not worried about compensation buy the cheaper ticket.
Alot of the times ATC / Dispatch / Weather may cause delays and of course this is out of the airlines control, it did not make it clear if passengers will still receive compensation if these factors delay the aircraft.
The airlines are pointing out that if it applies to airtravel it should also apply to coaches, trains etc etc.
