dc.description.abstract | analyse the notion of "extraordinary circumstance" in air passenger rights in the case of the
volcano eruption in Iceland and Covid-19 pandemic; identify whether there is an imbalance
between the current level of passenger protection and carriers’ liability. This research evaluates
the legal framework for the passenger’s transportation: Regulation 261/2004 for air passengers,
Regulation 2021/782 for rail passengers, Regulation 1177/2010 for waterborne passengers,
Regulation 181/2011 for bus and coach passengers as well as the reports of European
Commission following with analysis of academic literature and case law. The main findings of
the research are that enforcement mechanism works poorly and that leads to lack of awareness
of the rights among the passengers, however in regard to air passenger rights was found that
there is an imbalance between air passenger protection and carriers’ liability in regard to
compensation. This research results in possible amendments of the Article 7 of the Regulation
261/2004 and suggests actions that could be taken for future development of passenger rights
in the European Union. | en_US |
