European Union Tightens Rules on Passenger Rights Amid Concerns Over Delays and Compensation

The European Parliament has voted against revisions to air passenger rights regulations, maintaining a three-hour delay threshold for compensation and approving measures to enhance passenger protections. MEPs rejected proposals to increase the threshold or reduce compensation levels, instead pushing for clearer rules and safeguards. The decision reflects a commitment to protecting passengers from lengthy delays and ensuring a level playing field within the EU’s internal market.
