Flight Delaying Irregularities
Flight Delaying Irregularities
A delay occurs when an aircraft due to one or more reasons of the mentioned below departs behind schedule from the station of origin, station en-route, or when the scheduled ground time is exceeded.
Overbooking is a type of irregularity due to the fact that a number of passengers cannot be travel on the flight due to overbooking. This policy often corresponds by most airlines that follow this policy to cover the number of passengers who have a confirmed reservation on the flight but do not attend the airport to travel on their trip due to emergency circumstances.
Here are two ways to handle this problem by airlines:
The first method is to open the check-in counter for the flight, accept the passengers who appear on the counters to finish their travel procedures, then close the counters when the seats are full and then deal with the other passengers who are in front of the counters and have confirmed tickets but they will not be able to travel due to the seats being full.
A wave of protests begins because passengers are told that they cannot travel without examining their circumstances in terms of the termination of their stay (for foreigners), the expiration of the period of admission to the country, or the loss of their connecting flights. An agent from the passenger service then comes to collect passenger’s tickets who have not been able to travel to re-issue their tickets to arrive at their final destination on the same day or the next day according to the available seats on the same airline and their tickets can be transferred to other airlines.
