On air passengers’ rights 

Petição dirigida a: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner is of the opinion that the current passengers’ rights are unsatisfactory when it comes to the calculation of compensation payments for delays, as they are calculated based on the eventual arrival time. The petitioner gives as an example a departure delay of 3 hours, which is compensated by the air company by reducing flight time, in order to avoid paying compensation. The petitioner claims that the corresponding EU legislation on delays by air companies is applied on both airports of departure and arrival.
