To combat the three major chronic problems of civil aviation, a 4-hour delay will result in a compensation of US$27,000. The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a new version of the Civil Aviation Service Management Regulations on the 20th to crack down on the three major chronic problems of the civil aviation service industry: packet loss, delays, and overbooking. In terms of penalty standards, this is the most stringent civil aviation service management regulation. According to the new regulations, if an Airbus A380 passenger plane is delayed by four hours when it is full, the air operator may have to pay passengers US$10 million in compensation. Transportation Minister Leila Hood said on the 20th that the new version of the regulations will be officially put into use by the end of August this year. The new version of the regulations focuses on combating three major problems that often occur with existing air operators, including lost checked baggage, long departure delays, and overbooking of tickets that prevent passengers from getting seats. Delay upper limit of 4 hours. During the discussion of the new regulations last year, the original delay limit was set at 3 hours. North America was hit by a snowstorm in December last year, which delayed a large number of passenger flights at some airports. Flights on some international routes at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport were delayed for more than 10 hours. The new regulations subsequently relaxed the standard and extended it from 3 hours to 4 hours. Although the standards have been relaxed, the penalties have not been reduced. According to the new regulations, airlines that wait on the tarmac for more than four hours for any reason after boarding an international flight must pay each passenger US$27,000. Overbooking can result in compensation of up to $1,330. Last year, US airlines had a total of 2 million incidents of improper handling of checked baggage, including lost baggage, damaged bags, delayed delivery, etc. Previous regulations stipulated that airlines must compensate passengers for reasonable expenses after losing their luggage, but the new regulations include an additional provision that airlines must refund passengers' baggage check fees and baggage inspection fees. Overbooking is a marketing tactic used by many airlines. Usually, airlines with overbooked tickets have two options when passengers board the plane. One is to ask the passengers to transfer to the next flight, and the other is to pay the passengers a small "no-show fee" directly. The old version of the regulations stipulates that passengers can claim compensation from overbooked airlines ranging from US$400 to US$800 depending on the length of the delay; the new version of the regulations increases this compensation to US$650 to US$1,330.
