Will alternating weather lead to compensation?

Legal analysis: aircraft delays due to weather are not compensated. The weather is not the airline's fault. Airlines will only arrange meals and accommodation for passengers, and the expenses will be borne by the passengers themselves.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Regulations on Normal Flight Management in People's Republic of China (PRC). After the flight departure is delayed or cancelled, the carrier or ground service agent shall provide accommodation services for passengers according to the following circumstances:

(1) If the departure of the flight is delayed or cancelled due to maintenance, flight deployment, crew and other reasons of the carrier, the carrier shall provide passengers with services such as meals or accommodation.

(2) If the departure of the flight at the place of origin is delayed or cancelled due to weather, emergencies, air traffic control, safety inspection and other non-carrier reasons, the carrier shall assist the passengers in arranging meals and accommodation at their own expense.

(3) If the domestic flight is delayed or cancelled at the stopover, the carrier shall provide the stopover passengers with meals or accommodation services for whatever reason.

(4) When domestic flights alternate, the carrier shall provide meals or accommodation services to alternate passengers for whatever reason.
