Brazil Compensation
Defense Minister Nelson Jobim announced Brazilian airlines will have to compensate customers for excessive delays of more than five hours.
During the past 14 months after two fatal plane crashes, the Brazilian government limited flights at certain airports and allowed air-traffic controllers to reduce the number of flights they monitor.
Brazil's federal government is in charge of managing and operating the country's ailing aviation industry, which has been struggling since the GOL and TAM crashes.
