Reply To: Flight diversion due to technical fault. Any compensation?

[Lady London]

@meta above would be correct, in that BA failing to provide the full transport back to the originally booked airport would not <<of itself>> get its own compo.

Compo is attached to the flight delay in getting from origin to destination, and compo is definitely due for flight delay itself being delay reaching the booked airport, because mechanical fault is not exceptional circumstance and definitely the responsibility of the airline.

Whereas transport back to the originally booked airport I’d regard as coming under the, separate part, of duty of care which includes rerouting. The rerouting here being the filling in of the final part of the journey back to the originally booked airport, by ground transportation.

Passenger should be provided or get reimbursed the costs of his transport to original airport, as well as any flight delay compensation that was due, because the ground trabsport is under the rerouting/duty of care section.
