Boeing 737 Max 8 grounding: What does it mean for travelers?

CNN  

CNN — Under normal circumstances, most travelers rarely bother to look at which model of plane they’re flying on. “We do not foresee a significant impact of the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft on passengers in Europe,” a spokesman for UK passenger rights organization Flightright told CNN via email, adding that only a handful of 737 MAX aircraft have been delivered to European airlines. Southwest Airlines flew 34 Max 8 aircraft out of a total of 750 Boeing 737s, a spokesperson told CNN via email, which means more than 95% of its fleet is unaffected by the ban. from Norwegian Airlines Passengers affected by the Max 8 ban will not be able to claim compensation, according to Omid Azizi-Torkanpour, managing director of passenger rights organization Flight Reclaim, because the disruption is classed as extraordinary by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority and therefore outside of the airline’s control. However airlines do have a responsibility to make alternative arrangements for their passengers and their liability to pay compensation depends on how long aviation authorities consider the situation to be “extraordinary.” In turn this could vary depending on the percentage of 737 Max planes flown by individual airlines, according to Flightright.
