Legal overview & Subtleties

2004
The European Commission regulation n°261/2004 enters into play, providing
passenger protection and compensation for flight cancelations only
2009
Known as the “Sturgeon Case”, the European Court of Justice states that
delays over 3 hours must be considered as cancelations, opening new protection
rights for passengers
Pending revision
This EU regulation has been undergoing “revision” for a couple of years yet and
currently “on hold” due to the dispute between Spain and the UK over Gibraltar.
According to our information, changes should be relatively minor. AirRefund will,
of course, keep abreast of any change in the regulation
“ADD-ONS”
On top of the above mentioned EU regulation, AirRefund also leverages
international conventions – Montreal & Warsaw – and local laws whenever
applicable to better protect the passengers’ rights
