Why do planes have to wait unconditionally when they are late?

Why do you have to wait unconditionally for flight delays?

Weather is the main factor of flight delay. The principle of aviation management in China is safety first. If the weather does not meet the flight standards, the flight will definitely not take off. Thunderstorm, heavy snow, fog and hail are all abnormal, and the weather will delay flights.

So it can't be said that it is unconditional waiting. Don't you want to be safe when traveling?

In addition, good weather at the starting point does not mean good weather at the destination. If you fly, you have to fall. You can't fly if the other station can't accept the plane.

The weather at the departure station and the destination station is fine, so why not let them fly? From the starting point to the destination, follow the route. The weather on the road is bad, so you can't fly.

Even if the weather improves, the backlog of delayed flights will have to be queued one by one, and it is impossible to get through immediately, so we can only wait.

Last year, it was stipulated that airlines would no longer provide free accommodation for delays caused by non-airline reasons such as weather, emergencies and air traffic control. In other words, airlines are only responsible for providing passengers with services such as delays or cancellations due to their own reasons, alternate domestic flights, delays or cancellations after stopping.

To put it bluntly, it seems that most of the delay losses have to be borne by themselves. Actually, there is a solution. If you want to be safe, you'd better buy a delay insurance. If it is really delayed, there can also be compensation.
