Airlines told the consumer magazine their aircraft were flying at slower speeds to reduce fuel consumption and that this allowed them to offer cheaper fares.
英国航企们表示,它们的飞机飞行速度变慢是为了减少燃油消耗,而且这样一来他们还可以提供更便宜的机票。
BA also told Which? that air traffic control congestion was a factor, with European skies now much busier than 10 years ago.
英航还对《Which?》杂志表示,空中交通拥堵也是一个因素,与十年前相比,欧洲空域现在要繁忙得多。
European Union rules stipulate that passengers can claim up to €600 if their flights is delayed by more than three hours; however, airlines do not have to compensate travellers for circumstances outside their control, such as bad weather.
欧盟法规规定,如果航班延误超过三小时,乘客最高可以索赔600欧元(4781元人民币)。但是,对于超出航空公司控制的情形,比如恶劣天气,航空公司无需对旅客进行赔偿。
为了规避航班延误,免于赔偿,航空公司故意延长航班时间这一招已经成了全球的“惯例”,也由此带来了一系列“怪象”,引发乘客不满。最常见的就是飞机“提前到达”,导致接机“不及时”。比如本来按照正常飞行可以11时到的飞机,在机票上却打成11时30分到,结果飞机飞行正常了,就会出现“提前到”。
