Exploration on Domestic Flight Delay and Compensation

Flight delay refers to the state of facts that, during the aviation passenger transportation, the carrier cannot draw out of station or arrive at the station according to the transport contract. Flight timetable or time specified on the air ticket should be considered as the direct evidence for flight delay. According to the reason of delay, it can be divided as the reasonable delay and unreasonable delay. In principle, the former shall not undertake the responsibility of compensation; the latter shall undertake the responsibility of compensation if the flight is delayed for over 2 hours (including 2 hours). However, no matter which reason leads to the flight delay, the carrier cannot be exempted from the obligation of notification and remedy specified by the law.
