Abstract
The European Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 establishes rights for air passengers. The passengers have the right to compensation in case of delay or cancellation unless it “is caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken”.
The research presented in this abstract is a part of my PhD thesis, which is still in progress: “The Danish passengers’ legal position”.
