Report: The airline knew that the July 4th trip would be a disaster, #Report #Airline #Knowed # 4th #July #Travel #Welcome to the disaster OLASMEDIA TV NEWSThis is what we have for you today:
The airline knew in advance that the problem would occur, according to Axios reports, as passengers experienced more than usual delays and flight cancellations on July 4.
Joann Muller of Axios reported that Delta knew that millions of people would face “operational challenges” on the holiday weekend of July 4th.
However, airlines have sought to anticipate potential problems by allowing customers to change their plans with free rebookings. Tickets usually cost as much as $ 200.
With Delta’s entire system of travel exemptions, customers “rebook their trips before and after difficult weekend travel days, as long as they travel between the same origin and destination, with no fare differences or change fees.” You will have the opportunity.
As Axios pointed out, the Delta exemption eliminates the need for customers to pay the fare difference for a new flight as long as the departure and destination of the new flight are the same. However, the travel period from Delta is tight, rebooked trips must be completed by Friday July 8th, and customers cannot extend their trips on weekends.
Despite all this, no one wants to take responsibility. The aviation industry and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the federal agency responsible for air travel, have blamed each other.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian told staff at a webinar on June 29 that he believes “stressed” air traffic control systems are a major cause of flight disruptions.
“This is about partnerships and the government needs to step up,” Bastian added. “It should be better, but this will be a constraint that will stay with us for some time.”
However, Biden’s Secretary of Transportation Pete Butigeg, head of the department that oversees the FAA, blames airlines, whose air travel has dropped significantly during the coronavirus pandemic, as the reason behind the struggle. I accused him of becoming a virus.
“Most of the cancellations and most of the delays have nothing to do with air traffic control staffing,” Butigeg told NBC News Lester Holt on June 28.
The aviation industry also received $ 54 billion in federal aid during the coronavirus pandemic, Axios said.
