Consumer Protection For Airline Passengers

EDM number 125 in 2009-10, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 19/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Aviation.

That this House notes with concern that when flights are booked online there is no protection for the customer if the airline concerned goes into administration; notes that customers booking a package holiday have their rights protected by European law under the Package Travel Directive and bookings made through a travel agent are protected by ABTA and ATOL; calls for this loophole in the law to be addressed; and supports Brian Simpson MEP's resolution to the European Parliament calling for all airline passengers to be protected.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
