The vote concerns a revision of the passenger rights rules that have been in force since 2004. The objective of the proposed update is to ensure that air passengers remain adequately protected in cases of travel disruption, including denied boarding, flight delays, and flight cancellations.
The committee vote is intended to confirm a draft
response by the European Parliament to the position adopted by the Council in
September 2025 on air passenger rights.
The outcome of the vote will form part of the ongoing
legislative process to revise the existing regulatory framework governing
passenger protection in the European Union.
