Compel Airlines to pay EU/261 style compensation for lost luggage
Compel Airlines to pay EU/261 style compensation when luggage is lost during a journey that starts, ends, or transits a UK airport.
Airlines must already pay for the late arrival of passengers, but currently they are only required to forward luggage to you and cover reasonable expenses
In recent months airlines have failed to prepare for the resumption of air travel. People are losing their baggage or the bags are not being loaded onto the flight because the airline handling agents haven’t recruited enough staff.
Currently nothing is done to compensate the passengers for their inconvenience of not receiving their baggage, and I feel this is wrong.
Where baggage is included or added to a fare, passengers have a reasonable expectation to receive it after the flight.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Passengers travelling on flights starting, ending or transiting through the UK already have rights to compensation when luggage is lost or delayed. You can find out about these rights here: www.caa.co.uk/passengers/before-you-fly/baggage/lost-delayed-or-damaged-baggage/
We can accept petitions calling for changes to rights to compensation for lost or delayed luggage, but it would need to be clear how you want existing rights to be changed.
