New decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union on air passenger rights in the case Touristic Aviation Services v FlightRight GmbH (C-405/23). The CJEU held that the shortage of airport staff for loading baggage which caused a long delay of a flight may constitute an “exceptional circumstance”. Article 5(3) of Regulation EC 261 must be interpreted in the sense that the fact that the airport operator's staff responsible for loading baggage onto aircraft is insufficient is likely to constitute an “extraordinary circumstance” within the meaning of this provision. However, in order to exempt itself from its obligation to compensate passengers provided for in Article 7 of the Regulation, the air carrier whose flight has experienced a significant delay due to such an extraordinary circumstance is required to demonstrate that this circumstance could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken and he adopted the measures adapted to the situation capable of obviating the consequences thereof. #aviation #airlines #airtransport #flightdelay #flightcancellation #flightcompensation #ec261 #aviationlaw #airlaw

🚨 New CJEU Card!🚨 In case C-451/20, a passenger experienced a delay on a flight with a connecting leg, both operated by a community air carrier. However, as the departure and arrival airports were in a third country, Regulation (EC) 261/2004 did not apply, with only the stopover airport falling within the EU. ✈️ 🌐📜 Find out more about the case and explore the ECJ ruling here: https://lnkd.in/dQhecg7r   #AirTravel #PassengerRights #CJEU #EC261 #EURegulations #AviationLaw #PionAirLaw

New decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union on air passenger rights in the case Cobult UG v TAP Air Portugal SA  (C‑76/23). The Court held that Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 must be interpreted as meaning that, in the event of cancellation of a flight by the operating air carrier, the passenger is deemed to have given their ‘signed agreement’ to reimbursement of the cost of the ticket by a travel voucher where they filled in an online form on the website of that air carrier, by which they chose such a means of reimbursement to the exclusion of reimbursement by a sum of money, where that passenger has been able to make an effective and informed choice and, accordingly, to give informed consent to the reimbursement of the cost of their ticket by a travel voucher rather than by a sum of money, which presupposes that that air carrier has provided to that passenger, in a fair manner, clear and full information as to the various means of reimbursement available to them. #aviation #airlines #airtransport #flightdelay #flightcancellation #flightcompensation #passengerrights #ec261 #aviationlaw #airlaw

If traffic shifts from Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Reagan National Airport (DCA), airlines would cut international routes, which largely rely on domestic connections for their transfer passengers. It would also discourage airlines from starting new international routes at IAD. Adding flights at DCA would disrupt the carefully designed balance of D.C.’s three-airport system, risking less international flight options for customers in the D.C. air travel market: https://lnkd.in/e-Mmf4MR.

Recent Rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Cases C-474/22 (Laudamotion - Decision not to take a delayed flight) and C-54/23 (Laudamotion and Ryanair): The Court has clarified that passengers who opted not to board a flight experiencing a considerable delay or those who purchased tickets for alternative flights and reached their destination with a delay of less than three hours, are not eligible for fixed compensation. A well-reasoned decision that strikes a balance between protecting passenger rights and acknowledging the practicalities of air travel operations. #aviation #airlines #passengerrights #ec261 #flightdelay #flightcancellation #flightcompensation #aviationlaw #airlaw

📢 Can passengers receive compensation under Regulation 261/2004 in scenarios governed by the 1999 Montreal Convention?   🔍In our April 2024 newsletter, our colleagues José Antonio Romero Lara and Silvia Frade Sosa explore the scope of application and compensation framework outlined in the Montreal Convention, highlighting practical discrepancies that arise when the provisions of Regulation (EC) 261/20043 are improperly applied in Spain to aviation incidents governed by the Montreal Convention.    Check out the full article on our website: https://lnkd.in/dbPvcXJ6 ✈️🌐   #Aviation #Regulation261 #MontrealConvention #PassengersRights #PionAirLaw

It is not acceptable decision

Our priorities for the new Government: #3 Air Cargo Problem: There has been a sudden and dramatic loss of slots for cargo-only flights at Heathrow and other airports in the Southeast.    Suitable capacity at airports outside the Southeast is insufficient and means more freight travelling greater distances by road.    Supply chains have been disrupted, exposing the UK’s strategic vulnerability and competitive weakness. Solution: Take urgent action to create a protected pool of slots for cargo-only flights in the national strategic interest, giving businesses the certainty they need.   Accelerate reform of how slots are allocated, with strengthened regulatory oversight by the Civil Aviation Authority.    Over the longer-term, deliver extra capacity through airspace modernization and supporting investment in new airport infrastructure. #aviation #groundhandling #aircargo
