Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, in particular extraordinary circumstances

„The European Union (EU) is the only area in the world where citizens are protected by a full set of passenger rights, whether they travel by air, rail, bus and coach or ship.” In processing this topic, my aim is to present - in addition to presenting fundamentally the events constituting the rights under the Regulation as well as the rights of passengers affected by such events, in order to place particular emphasis on the extraordinary circumstances set out in recitals 14 and 15 of the Regulation in which air carriers are exempted from their obligation to pay compensation. In the meantime, I would also like to address the criticisms of the Regulation and the parts on which raise the problems, on which I consider it justified to outline my own ideas for solutions. I would like to present it in a more practical and interesting presentation of the exemption cases through the example of a judgment before the Court of Justice of the European Union.egységes, osztatlanEuropean and International Business Law LL
