EU Regulation on passenger disruption

A new EU legislation comes into effect on February 17, 2005 setting down rules for how and when airlines, including British Airways*, must compensate and offer assistance to disrupted passengers.

The legislation applies to all passengers departing from the EU, and all passengers on flights into the EU on EU carriers.

Four different disruption scenarios are covered by the new legislation:

Cancelled flights
Long delays
Denied boarding
Downgrades

Remedies for disruption have been specified in the legislation, namely:

Notifying the passenger of their rights under the new legislation
Offering a re-route or a refund/re-imbursement
Providing care at the airport
Offering Compensation – in the case of denied boarding, downgrades and, where applicable, cancellations

The exact remedies to be offered under the legislation depend upon the circumstances of the disruption.

Attached you find a prompt card including a summary of the new EU legislation plus questions & answers and the Notification of rights (NOR) for the passengers:
