We remind passengers that their tickets are non-refundable. We apologize to passengers for any inconvenience this may cause, but we also remind the weather is beyond our control.

I think that the bold part is incorrect grammatically and instead 'we also remind passengers the weather is beyond our control.' is correct.
Could you tell me if my idea is right?

Thanks.

The verb �remind� is a transitive verb. It has to be used with an object, as in your first sentence. I agree with you that the noun �passengers� or �them� should be there.
