Full Description
This essential book offers a comprehensive and concise overview of the complex global framework of air passenger rights, examining not only national laws but also regional agreements. From countries that have "copy-pasted" the EU model to those that have significantly enhanced it — such as the Philippines with its tarmac delay provisions, or Canada with its nuanced categorization of disruptions — this book dissects the global landscape.
It reveals how some nations have even surpassed their progenitor, offering unique protections for vulnerable passengers or specifying intricate details down to meal composition. Prior to this book, practitioners faced various issues from language barriers - some laws are not translated into English - to fragmentation. Now there is a consolidated analysis of all these laws in a single accessible resource, making them accessible and comparable for all. The book offers a concise, comparative overview of all distinct national and regional laws in place focusing on delays, cancellations and denial of boarding. It also contains tables to ensure easier reading access. It can be considered a one-stop shop for understanding the global panorama of air passenger rights.
By meticulously analysing the varied approaches to passenger rights around the world, this book fills a crucial void, offering an invaluable resource for policymakers, legal professionals, airlines and passengers seeking to navigate the complex world of air travel consumer protection on flight delays, cancellations and denial of boarding.
