How to compensate for the delay of the plane due to weather?

The plane was delayed due to the weather, and there was no compensation.

The weather is not the airline's fault. Airlines will only help passengers arrange meals and accommodation, and the expenses will be borne by the passengers themselves.

The Regulations on Normal Flight Management stipulates that:

Article 29? After the flight departure is delayed or cancelled, the carrier or ground service agent shall provide accommodation services for passengers under 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.

Common causes of aircraft delay

First, the weather.

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; Meteorological conditions of flight routes are not suitable for overflight, etc.

The weather reason not only refers to the weather conditions in the city where the destination airport is located. Aircraft take-off and landing are not afraid of strong winds and heavy rain. The key meteorological factors are visibility, low clouds near the airport take-off and landing passages, and strong crosswinds. It is normal for your flight to be delayed due to the weather.

Second, traffic control.

There are two main reasons why air traffic control affects flights.

1. Flow control: With the rapid development of China's civil aviation, the number of flights has increased sharply, while the corresponding ground facilities, navigation equipment and service guarantees have developed slowly and the route structure is unreasonable, which cannot adapt to the rapid development of the current civil aviation industry. Especially for reasons such as ensuring national defense security, China has strict restrictions on airspace, and there are many air restricted areas.

2. Air Force activities: This situation involves national defense secrets and often comes suddenly. In short, control and related civil aviation flights will be affected, either waiting on the ground, waiting in the air or returning or landing at other nearby airports. In this case, you can only wait, there is no reason, there is no expected time, everything is top secret.
