Webinar: EU261 Reform: What Comes Next and What Does it Mean?

Have you got a question?

The reform of the EU261 passenger rights regulation had never been closer to becoming a reality after more than a decade of neglect and deadlock. In this webinar, we broke down the proposed changes, assessed their likely impact, and discussed what they meant for airlines, consumers and courts. We also explored how airlines could best protect themselves against a potentially increased burden of claims.

Main topics:

What's actually in the reform proposals — the key changes to EU261, including revised compensation thresholds, extended delay triggers, and clarified extraordinary circumstances
Where the reform stands politically — the current state of play in Brussels, the likely timeline, and what could still change before adoption
How the changes will affect claims exposure — what the reform means in practice for claim volumes, payout levels, and airlines' operational costs
What courts and claims agencies will do differently how litigation patterns and claim-farming models are likely to shift under the new rules
How to prepare your airline now — practical steps to strengthen claims handling, documentation, and legal strategy before the reform takes effect
