MEPs in the Transport Committee emphasize the importance of maintaining air passenger rights, including compensation for delays, free cabin luggage, and enhanced protections for vulnerable travelers. They reject proposals to weaken these rights and advocate for clearer information, free seating for specific groups, and improved assistance for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility. The committee aims to update EU air passenger rights to ensure adequate protection against travel disruptions, urging for stricter guidelines on compensation, luggage allowances, and passenger assistance.
