Inside the EU’s bittersweet deal to update air passenger rights
A decade-long battle over air passenger rights ended this week as the European Parliament approved the first overhaul in 22 years. The deal preserves existing rights and adds new ones, but consumer groups say it falls short, while airline associations argue there are no winners.
