Air passengers sending bailiffs to airlines
Bailiffs are being sent into UK airline offices because companies are failing to pay passengers compensation for flight delays and cancellations. Thousands of court rulings ordering compensation have been ignored by airlines, including EasyJet and Thompson Airways (now TUI Airways). EasyJet says it is changing its policies about claims, while TUI Airways has launched an investigation. In one case, bailiffs boarded a plane belonging to a small European airline and prevented it from taking off until the owners paid up. Since 2005, EU rules state that passengers who have had their flights cancelled or delayed 3 hours or more, are entitled to compensation of around GBP500, depending on the flight. But when they put their claims in, many passengers have found the airline ignore them. <br/>
