Penalty for the flight cancellations

I’m trying to understand why in the case of flight cancellation Airline will back revenue for passengers, but this money not has been received in bank account? This rule is illogical - when in case of flight cancellation Airline must be paying a penalty for passengers with full-size  ticket price!

It’s high time to come up with the "automatic rebooking" to another own flight, or "merge traffic load between flights".

I believe if an airline is unable to get you from A-B as per agreement on the day (ie. your flight is cancelled at short notice)...other than act of god, then a passenger is entitled to compensation hence the charge

Oh, no! International rules set the maximum size amount of compensation for pax in case of termination of the contract (by fault Airline). The Airline doesn't pay more than 25% of the ticket price. If the Airline has taken steps to rebooking a passengers on another flight (closest in time), the compensation is not paid.

Well, the authorities in the world of AirlineSim are a bit more stringent ;)

))) No-no! The real problem is in the logic, as well as in principle. Personally, I perceive it's the error (wheh the application began to be developed).

Hi,

a few years ago, I could not board a plane because it was overbooked. They rebooked me on another flight (I arrived two hours later than planned) and they gave me a compensation (50% of what I paid for the ticket).

Yes! But this is a very different case. Many Airlines sell virtual seats (or change to a smaller aircraft for a flight). It's full legal operation (read more about overbooking, or oversales). This should not be mixed with the wrong rule penalty system. In addition, the Airline doesn't lose anything when paying compensation for you. On any route Airlines set the different fares (from the lowest to the highest). And If you buy the ticket for 200 euros (for exmpl), Airline may returned 50%, it means that you have a ticket for 100 euros. )))

in Airlinesim sometimes all things and rules turned upside down. Look at any Aairline, and you'll see that 8-12% beyond tickets revenues - it'a all a penalty for refund and rebooking tickets! And passengers pay these fees! + Baggage fees ...

Agree with what you said. Players in Airlinesim tend to cancel their flights for any purposes such as aircraft not at the airport, not enough bookings and etc. This seems to be a "bonus" for players as they can simply cancel their flights without having any losses except returning revenues to passengers. So, I STRONGLY suggest that Airlinesim should come out with a penalty charge to those flight cancellations so that this is suitable in operating like a real airline. Flight cancellation should always be a loss to an airline because it reduces the image of the airline and etc.
