View Full Version : FR delays
Looking at FR`s website on live arrivals page, there appears, over the last few days, to be some lengthy delays. What`s more FR are not offering the usual "baggage handling/re-fuelling/ATC" reasons. Any ideas?

Think you may need to look again as yesterday they had reasons of most delayers but not all.
Yesterday they had atc delay, boarding delay, Diverted due to airport closure, check-in error, congestion at security check and more.
There has being a number of aircraft to tech faults delaying flights anything up to 12 hours but that can't be helped.
Don't see the big deal as every other airline does not provide such detail as FR generally do.

Its not often that I'd stick up for FR, but these facts are easily tracable as every delay which is not FR's fault usually entitles them not having to pay the airport and/or handling agent for the contracted fees.
To be able to prove it FR have to register the fact with the CAA in the UK, (don't know what the situation is elsewhere).

Other airlines tell the truth ! Examples across number of airlines.
