More passengers will receive compensation for delayed domestic flights under plans announced by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
The Cabinet minister is proposing to make travellers entitled to payouts for flights within the UK that arrive at their destination more than one hour late.
The UK currently uses the European Union’s EU261 rule, which means passengers on flights shorter than 1,500km (932 miles) can claim £220 for delays of more than three hours, but nothing for shorter hold-ups.
