활주로 지체 대비 계획

In accordance with Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulation (APPR), Bill C-49, United Airlines (“United”) has Created a Lengthy Tarmac Delay Contingency Plan (“Plan”). In the unusual event of such a delay either before takeoff or after landing, United will seek to ensure that:

1. For flights on Canadian soil, United will not permit an aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than three hours before allowing passengers to deplane unless: 1) the pilot-in-command determines there is a safety-related or security-related reason (e.g., weather or a directive from an appropriate government agency) that the aircraft cannot leave its position on the tarmac to deplane passengers; or 2) air traffic control advises the pilot-in-command that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point in order to deplane passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations; or 3) in the case of a departing flight only, the pilot-in-command receives information that the flight will depart within 45 additional minutes after three hours of tarmac delay.
2. For all flights covered by this Plan, United will provide adequate food and drinking water as requested by passengers unless the pilot-in-command determines that safety or security considerations preclude such service.
3. For all flights covered by this Plan, United will provide operable lavatory facilities, maintain comfortable cabin temperatures, and ensure adequate medical attention if needed while the aircraft remains on the tarmac.
4. For all flights covered by this Plan, United will ensure that passengers on the delayed flight receive notification regarding the status of the delay every 30 minutes while the aircraft is delayed, including the reasons for the tarmac delay, if known.
5. For all flights covered by this Plan, United will ensure that passengers on the delayed flight receive notification beginning 30 minutes after departure time (including any revised departure time that passengers were notified about before boarding) and every 30 minutes thereafter that they have the opportunity to deplane from an aircraft that is at the gate or another disembarkation area with the door open if the opportunity to deplane actually exists.

Note: The tarmac delay contingency plan of the operating carrier governs when it is operating a flight on which the United (UA) code is displayed.
