Government plan to slash compensation for severely delayed or cancelled flights
The penalty paid by airlines for severe delays or cancellations on UK flights would be reduced by tens of thousands of pounds per flight, under new Department for Transport proposals on passenger compensation.
Currently if your flight is cancelled at short notice, or delayed by more than three hours, you'll get at least £220 compensation, as well as the right to be rerouted or refunded. Except for under so-called 'extraordinary circumstances', such as bad weather.
However, the government has launched a consultation on plans that it describes as 'bolstering airline passenger protections and rights, made possible thanks to the UK's departure from the EU ', which could scrap this compensation on domestic routes.
