Flight delays due to bad weather such as fog or other reasons have been grabbing the headlines lately, given social media posts and some violent reactions they’ve begun to elicit from irate passengers. They’ve even managed to draw the attention of the Union Civil Aviation ministry, pursuant to the two incidents in Mumbai and Delhi.
A flight disruption is a frustrating event that not only takes an emotional toll on the traveller, but also has financial implications. In case of delay, there are chances you miss a connecting flight. In case of cancellation, you may have to make alternate arrangements which often come at high cost, on short notice.
