Alessandro Palmigiano, book entitled “Regulation CE n.261/2004: European Community regulation regarding the compensation and assistance to passengers in the case of missed flights, cancellation of flights and extended delay”

The European Community regulation n.261 of February 2014, which renews the community standards with respect to missed flights, cancellation of flights and extended delay in the aeronautical sector, reinforces in a substantive manner the rights of passengers both with respect to the compensation of monetary damages and in terms of the assistance to be provided by the responsible airline company.

The text of the regulation includes decisions of the European Court of Justice, having interpreted on various occasions the provisions of the regulation, in particular those that have proved to have been more problematic, thereby offering a series of solutions in their interpretation.
