8 August 2024: The European Commission published on 22 July  the English texts of the revised Interpretative Guidelines on Regulations (EC) No. 261/2004, 2027/97 and 1107/2006. Once adopted in all the remaining official EU languages, these texts will be published in the Official Journal of the EU and will replace the current interpretative guidelines for these Regulations. The two texts are available to download from the top right of this tile.

The revision takes into account rulings by the Court of Justice since 2016. A new section on massive travel disruptions has also been added.

The guidelines come together with the release of a new Eurobarometer survey [1], which highlights that most Europeans still feel that they lack sufficient information on their passenger rights, even though awareness has increased compared to five years ago.
