"According to the air passenger rights Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, airlines are not obliged to offer passengers financial compensation when stranded for long delays. However, the regulation requires that passengers receive assistance from the airline, including food and drink and accommodation as necessary.
In addition, the Montreal Convention, the updated version of the Warsaw Convention which was transposed into Regulation (EC) No 889/2002, dealing with rules for international carrier liabilities, provides for certain rights in case of delays, from which the airline’s liability is limited to 4150 Special Drawing Rights, which is approximately EUR 5000. In this case, the passenger must demonstrate a causal link between the damages he or she has suffered and the incident provoked by the airline.
According to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, the Commission will submit to Parliament and the Council a report on the application of this regulation in the EU Member States. A call for tenders has been launched in order to contract an external consultant to give input with regard to quantitative and qualitative data. The study will deal in particular with issues related to delays and cancellations, as well as with the enforcement of the regulation concerned.
The Commission cannot at present prejudge whether additional measures will be proposed to improve the protection of air passengers. The Commission will have to wait for the final results of the assessment made by the external consultants."@en1
