Why is the plane late? What should I do after the delay?

There are five main reasons for aircraft delay: air traffic control, weather conditions, airlines, airports and mechanical failures.

Next, let's briefly talk about some background of each reason:

(1) air traffic control

As far as my flight experience in recent years is concerned, flying to or taking off from Beijing is the most delayed reason. Some people think that the sky is infinitely vast, so why is the saying of air traffic popular? This idea is very unreasonable, because every flight has its fixed route, and the number of air planes needs to be controlled.

For example, before the anniversary of 100, there were a lot of air drills and rehearsals, which often caused delays.

(2) Weather conditions

This situation is quite common, and the delay in this situation is sometimes more luck. What's more, the plane will not be delayed in rainy days, but in strong convection.

Because the plane will pass through the troposphere when taking off and landing, if the troposphere turbulence is too strong, the plane will easily bump when taking off and landing. If you encounter strong convection, it may lead to an air crash.

So generally speaking, summer is easy to be delayed because of the weather. But now aviation meteorological monitoring is still very strong, and people will not wait after meeting the take-off conditions.

(3) The airline's own reasons

This situation is rare, because it is the airline's own problem, so the probability of delay in this case is relatively small. Moreover, the key point: in case of delay in this situation, you can find the airline to settle the claim.

(4) airport reasons

This probability is not great either. Generally, there may be something wrong with the runway, which leads to the inability to taxi or uncontrollable factors in the taxi process. At this time, in order to ensure the safety of the taxiing process, the delay will also be notified. The airport maintenance personnel can take off after handling it.

(5) Mechanical failure

This is a man-made reason. Generally speaking, it needs maintenance personnel to handle before taking off. Some friends may be worried about whether the repaired plane will still have problems flying in the air. The answer is rest assured that on-the-job maintenance personnel can't go to the air traffic control bureau without passing the exam.

In addition, mechanical failure can also be claimed. But this is only theoretical, because CAAC seems to have no detailed statement on this claim standard ~ everyone knows it.

Finally, what if the plane is late? What did you say?/Sorry? I am a fish in the sword, so wait patiently. Generally speaking, there is no benefit if the delay is not long. If the delay is longer, some rice may be given (although it tastes terrible).
