Denied boarding can happen for various reasons, including overbooking or security concerns. Airfairness provides information on your rights as a passenger and what you can do in case you are denied boarding.
Airlines often overbook flights to account for no-shows, which can result in more passengers arriving for the flight than there are available seats.
Overbooking helps airlines maximize revenue by ensuring flights depart at full capacity.
Security concerns related to passenger behaviour or identification issues can lead to denied boarding.
Airlines must comply with security regulations, and any discrepancies or concerns can result in a passenger being denied boarding.
On smaller aircraft or during certain conditions, weight restrictions may necessitate limiting the number of passengers.
If there are issues with crew availability or legal working hours, airlines may have to deny boarding to some passengers.
