Based on the IACA pleading for a change of regulation
IACA members see the following key priorities for their business model:
an acknowledgement that airlines must optimise the use of their fleet and that reactionary (sequential) delays should therefore be taken into account in the exemptions to pay out compensation. Indeed, a flight irregularity often creates knock-on effects, i.e. impacts more than one aircraft rotation.
It is quite clear currently this is not so otherwise why would they want a change?
