Airlines may pay out for one-hour UK flight delays

[TheLocalYokel]

The Westminster Government has announced that it is looking to replace EU compensation rules that were retained post-Brexit.

It could mean air passengers being able to claim compensation on domestic flights for delays of more than an hour. The system would mirror that currently used by rail and ferry operators where compensation is linked to the cost of travel.

Under new plans, travellers could claim for delays of more than an hour, down from three hours currently.

It might sound good for the passenger but airlines will be reluctant to serve new routes if they risk compensation payouts.

it's actually not clear that airlines would be worse off under the new proposals tbh. the current fixed amount of compensation payable atm often exceeds the price of the ticket- i have sometimes made a profit on cancelled flights!
