EU to make airlines pay for delays
So what do we make of this EU proposal to make airlines pay compensation to pax for delays? Lets be honest, alot of delays are not due to any fault on the part of the carrier. The low cost carriers say it may be the end of true low fares as they will have to factor it in to the price. Is it the big carriers owned by governments way of trying to stop them? Doesn't do much for free competition as far as I can see. More a case of I can't compete with you so I'll force you to charge what we do. If that happens those with the biggest networks etc are more likely to get the business and survive. Surprise Surprise back to square one, less choice for the paying punter and probably less jobs.
