<p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government remains committed to protecting the rights
of passengers when travelling by air.</p><p> </p><p>Regulation (EC) 261/2004 as retained
in UK law establishes common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in
the event of long delays, cancellations or denied boarding. In June 2023, the Department
published its response to the Aviation Consumer Policy Reform Consultation. This set
out a commitment to further consultation on the compensation and payment framework
across all forms of disruption including cancellations, delays and denied boarding.
Furthermore, a Statutory Instrument came into force in the UK on 14 December 2023
to re-state certain EU case law principles in respect of Regulation (EC) 261/2004,
to ensure passengers continued to be protected through additional clarity of their
rights in the event of flight disruptions.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
