Airlines oppose EU website

AIRLINES across Europe, including Aer Lingus, have opposed the development of a new EU website which would provide air passengers with information on their performance.

Reluctance from most of the main airlines operating within the EU is preventing consumers from accessing details about flight punctuality and cancellations which is currently available on a website developed by the European Commission.

The project entitled Community Air Passenger Report System (CAPRS) also contains data on lost and stolen luggage and the number of passengers denied boarding due to overbooking.
