I wonder if this will simply increase ticket prices, or if it will actually reduce the occurance of flight delays. Not as if airlines love screwing up their tightly choreographed schedules anyway.
- grecy 4y agoIt can only increase ticket prices or reduce profit. You know which way that always goes.
- slater 4y agoHow about increasing only first-class ticket prices? Is that an option? (yesyes, i know...)
- Daishiman 4y agoLikely a combination of both things. If airline management can improve these metrics for less than the cost of the fines then they’ll do it. Ultimately if ticket prices go up because that’s the cost of having a somewhat reliable service that actually delivers on its promise I would not say it’s a bad thing. It makes the playing field even such that airlines can’t get away with undercutting service quality to compete on price.

It did not increase price and it provides a straightforward compensation. I've received twice a compensation for work travels (doesn't matter who paid the ticket, it is the traveller who is compensated)
