How the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max planes will affect air travelers
Air travelers planning trips in the weeks ahead may want to double check what kind of plane they’re set to fly on.
‘Definitely call and check the status of your reservation and ask about your re-booking options. Flights are more likely to cooperate given the public outcry.’ —Tracy Stewart, content editor at Airfarewatchdog With so many countries now barring the aircraft from flying, delays and cancellations could grow as airlines scramble to reassign flights to other planes in their fleet.
The good news is that the fallout from this chain of events will be somewhat limited, as there were only 350 Boeing 737 Max 8s in service globally, said Tracy Stewart, content editor at travel deal site Airfarewatchdog. “Definitely call and check the status of your reservation and ask about your rebooking options,” Stewart said. “Flights are more likely to cooperate given the public outcry.”
“This is considered an extraordinary circumstance under most consumer travel regulations such as the European passenger law EC 261 and the international regulation Montreal Convention, and are situations in which travelers are not eligible for compensation,” Zillmer said, referring the Boeing 737 Max grounding.
