IASL Webinar: The Application and Enforcement of Airline Passenger Rights: Are we having fun yet?

Friday, January 20, 2023 10:00to12:00

The explosive pre-pandemic growth in passenger air traffic over the past two decades has been a good news story worldwide on many levels, including economic growth, job creation, expanded travel and tourism, trade and commerce development, enhanced connectivity, as well as for global social progress in general.听 However, with these undisputed benefits came the inevitable drawbacks in the form of an ever-increasing number of flight disruptions, cancellations, delays, lost baggage, etc.听 The era of the introduction and rapid proliferation of national, sector-specific airline consumer rights frameworks was subsequently born.听 While they indeed established new layers of legal protections, they are also far from being a panacea and have often managed to anger and disappoint principal stakeholders such as airlines and their customers, usually at the same time!听 Why?听 This webinar will discuss some of these application and enforcement issues with a focus on Canada and its recently enacted airline passenger rights framework, as well as on EU Regulation 261-2004.

The event is free of charge and will be held on
