How to compensate for the three-hour delay of the plane?

The plane was delayed for three hours without compensation.

Only the delay caused by the airline itself (such as aircraft failure) and the delay time is more than 4 hours will be compensated.

In China, non-carrier reasons (such as weather, flow control, air traffic control, passengers' own reasons, etc. ) generally do not compensate. If the flight is cancelled or is expected to be delayed for four hours or more due to the carrier's reasons, the general airline shall bear the cost of refund and change, and shall provide free catering services and rest places to passengers according to the delay time.

According to relevant regulations, aircraft delay compensation can be divided into two levels: delay of more than 4 hours and less than 8 hours and delay of more than 8 hours. The amount of compensation varies from 200 yuan to 450 yuan.

General causes of aircraft delay

First, the weather.

The weather is the main reason for the flight delay. The simple word "weather reason" actually contains many situations: the weather conditions at the departure airport are not suitable for take-off; The weather conditions at the destination airport are not suitable for landing; Meteorological conditions of flight routes are not suitable for overflight, etc.

The weather reason not only refers to the weather conditions in the city where the destination airport is located. Aircraft take-off and landing are not afraid of strong winds and heavy rain. The key meteorological factors are visibility, low clouds near the airport take-off and landing passages, and strong crosswinds. It is normal for your flight to be delayed due to the weather.

Second, traffic control.

There are two main reasons why air traffic control affects flights.

1. Flow control: With the rapid development of China's civil aviation, the number of flights has increased sharply, while the corresponding ground facilities, navigation equipment and service support have developed slowly, and the route structure is unreasonable, which can't adapt to the rapid development of the current civil aviation industry. Especially for reasons such as safeguarding national defense security, China has strict restrictions on airspace and many air restricted areas.

2. Air Force activities: This situation involves national defense secrets and often comes suddenly. In short, control and related civil aviation flights will be affected, either waiting on the ground, waiting in the air or returning or landing at other nearby airports. In this case, you can only wait, there is no reason and no estimated time, everything is top secret.
