Aviation: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of requiring airlines to issue compensation for denied boarding automatically.
Answered by Mike Kane
An assessment of the merits of automatic compensation for denied boarding has not been made.
Provision of automatic compensation to passengers for denied boarding would present some practical challenges that would need to be fully considered through a full public consultation ahead of any potential legislative reforms.
