Regional airlines and politicians hope a new European Commission report on passenger rights expected this month will lead to clearer rules and more effective enforcement in some countries. The EC has acknowledged that European Union regulations introduced to ensure compensation and assistance for airline passengers facing denied boarding, flight cancellations or long delays involve “imprecise text.”
Earlier this year, the EC promised to work with operators and national authorities to overcome problems with implementation of the relevant law, EU Regulation 261/2004, which came into force in February 2005 and which the ERA has called “the worst air-transport regulation ever implemented in the EU.”
