European Union member states have reached a compromise agreement on reforming air passenger rights following ten years of debate. Ambassadors approved the final deal, negotiated by the Cypriot presidency of the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, on Friday afternoon. The agreement secured strong support, exceeding the qualified majority needed for adoption, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The revised regulations aim to clarify and modernize existing rules regarding compensation for flight disruptions. Details of the specific changes weren’t immediately released, but the deal resolves a long-standing impasse between member states and the Parliament. This updated framework is expected to provide greater clarity for both airlines and passengers regarding their rights and responsibilities. The agreement now moves forward for formal adoption.
