EY2004/261
Thanks, Nutloose.
Total hyperbole the claim that this makes charter flight cancellations illegal as well as the nonsense spouted by the Mirror.
So what's new?
As the name of the EU law above makes clear,[EU2004/261] the law has been in place for 10 years !
About time the UK courts took cogniscance of it, isn't it?
Jet2 cannot just say "extraordinary circumstances" as a legal-jargon-synonym for "get lost."
The law has absolutely nothing to do with "charter airlines" and applies identically to all airlines.
Though it is very very far from clear that it applies equally to all airlines at/ in all EU jurisdictions.
(I am certain that fairly recently, yet another round of negotiations has begun to "update" this law. But no clear conclusions have been reached as far as I know.)
