CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION
Passenger Protection Against Airline Failure
At the beginning of 2006 the European Commission published a report on the impact of airline bankruptcies on passengers and possible protection measures. This has not been pursued separately but as part of the Third Package on Air Transport Liberalisation – see Air Transport Liberalisation.
ABTA’s Position
ABTA has lobbied for many years for consumer financial protection to be extended to scheduled airlines to ensure a level playing field for Members organising package holidays, latterly through the House of Commons Transport Select Committee.
