A LATAM aircraft operating flight LA3367 (Rio de Janeiro/Galeão-São Paulo/Guarulhos), departing at 10:35 a.m. this Thursday (20/02), returned to its airport of origin after a bird strike. The landing occurred safely at 11:04 a.m. and the flight was canceled. On Linkedin, Jerome Cadier made a statement about the legal proceedings against airlines:
“Just now, another bird strike (called a “bird strike” in aviation).
The aircraft returned safely but obviously the flight was cancelled, disrupting the lives of all engers, and obviously the airline as well.
I can bet with you that the first lawsuit against the airline, asking for compensation for moral damages for the cancellation of this flight, will arrive tomorrow... and so Brazilian aviation continues... the question is: who pays the bill?”
The fact is that in Brazil, suing an airline has become an almost common practice. The promotion of litigation is clear on social media. Paid ments encourage lawsuits and more lawsuits. This also overloads the public sector. The judiciary is already overcrowded. It is clear that enger rights must be enforced, but trivializing conditions should not be part of the routine.
Who pays the bill? engers themselves where these costs are ed on in the prices of airline tickets. According to ANAC, on average, Legal proceedings cost the sector R$1 billion per year.
In this context, excessive litigation becomes unsustainable. The government should curb this practice and investigate what really belongs in the judiciary.
