Ryanair wants passengers to pay for delays
Budget Irish airline Ryanair has found another way to niggle its passengers.
They will be charged for the airline’s delays and cancellations.
The airline plans to impose a £2 ($A3.11) levy on all passengers in order to provide compensation for those passengers who face delays and cancellations.
The fee will be €2 for passengers outside the UK.
The ‘compensation levy’, it says, is due to a European regulation which rules that passengers are entitled to compensation, including food and accommodation, if their flight is delayed or cancelled.
Ryanair is pushing for airlines to be exempted from the regulation for events that are beyond the airline’s control – such as extreme weather or natural disasters
The airline said the levy was a response to “extraordinary costs which have been imposed on us by delays and cancellations under these discriminatory regulationsâ€.
