Ryanair reimburses 6000 Euro to passengers for cancelled flights
Dublin, Ireland - The sentence from the Dublin tribunal
(WAPA) - Three Ryanair passengers have received 6000 Euro after a court in Dublin as reimbursement for a cancelled flight from the Irish capital to Carcassonne (France) in 2007. This sentence could become a decisive previous in the consumer-air companies relationship regarding airlines in both general and European cases.
To see their respective rights being recognised, the three travellers had turned to EUclaim, a Dutch company which takes care of controversies between passengers and airplanes, which avails itself of the services of the legal study Lavelle Coleman of Dublin regarding discussions in Ireland and in the United Kingdom.
"These settlements are a huge boost to airline passengers in Ireland who are affected by the cancellation of their flight", says Michael Rattenbury, associate solicitor with Lavelle Coleman. Airlines now appear to accept that passenger compensation claims under the EU regulations have to be met with a reasonable response, and that proactively dealing with these claims is the only way of approaching them".
