Why is the plane late?

The reasons for aircraft delays are usually weather, air traffic control, passengers and so on.

1, weather reason

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; The meteorological conditions of flight routes are not suitable for flying over and so on.

2. Traffic control

There are two main reasons: flow control and air force activities.

3. Passenger reasons

There are many reasons for flight delays, some of which are irresistible natural factors. According to statistics, flight delays caused by passengers account for 3% of abnormal flights, which is almost the same as the number of delays caused by aircraft failures.

Flight delay compensation measures:

1. There are two criteria for airlines to delay flights due to their own reasons. One is to delay the flight for more than 4 hours and less than 8 hours; The other is a delay of more than 8 hours. In both cases, airlines have to make economic compensation for passengers.

2. Compensation methods can be cash, air ticket discount and mileage return.

3. In the case of flight delay, in order not to cause new delays, airlines generally do not make economic compensation at the airport site, and airlines can use registration, letters and other methods.

4. After the flight is delayed, the airport should stop passengers from affecting the normal flight of subsequent flights by means of "strike" and "grabbing the plane".
