FULL REFUNDS , but what happens if its not the airlines fault? Reasons for Flight Delays Beyond Airline Control Tony Fernandes Bo Lingam Nadia Zahir Omer Benyamin Ismail
Flight delays can occur for a variety of reasons outside the airline's control, including:
1. Weather Conditions: Severe weather like thunderstorms, snowstorms, or fog can ground flights or slow down airport operations, causing delays.
2. Air Traffic Control (ATC): Congestion in the skies or restrictions imposed by ATC can lead to delays in departure or arrival.
3. Technical Issues at the Airport: Problems with airport infrastructure, such as runway closures or malfunctions in airport equipment, can cause delays.
4. Security Issues: Increased security checks, passenger-related incidents, or other security concerns can lead to delays.
5. Bird Strikes: Encounters with birds near airports can damage aircraft or require additional inspections, resulting in delays.
6. Other Airport Operations: Refueling delays, loading and unloading of cargo, or other logistical challenges at the airport can also contribute to flight delays.

Malaysia Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) has recently introduced a policy aimed at enhancing passenger rights, especially in cases of flight delays or cancellations. This policy emphasizes the accountability of airlines and airports, ensuring that passengers are better informed and compensated in situations beyond airline control, such as adverse weather or air traffic issues. By addressing these broader challenges, MAVCOM aims to improve overall travel experience and ensure that passengers are treated fairly. #AviationPolicy #PassengerRights
