What if the plane lands at another airport?

Legal analysis: Airlines that forced landing at other airports due to weather do not need compensation. If the flight is delayed due to weather, the airline only needs to assist the passengers in arranging meals and accommodation according to regulations, and the expenses shall be borne by the passengers themselves.

Legal basis: Article 57 of China Civil Aviation Passenger and Luggage Domestic Transportation Rules stipulates that if the flight is delayed or cancelled at the place of origin due to maintenance, flight deployment, business and crew, the carrier shall provide passengers with services such as meals or accommodation. Article 58 If the flight is delayed or cancelled at the place of origin due to weather, unexpected events, air traffic control, safety inspection and other non-carrier reasons, the carrier shall assist the passengers in arranging meals and accommodation, and the expenses may be borne by the passengers themselves. Article 59 If the flight is delayed or cancelled at the stopover, the carrier shall be responsible for providing accommodation services to the stopover passengers for whatever reason.
