Irish airlines draw most complaints in Europe

Almost one in five complaints against airlines in Europe last year related to Irish carriers.

According to a report on air passenger rights, the European Consumer Centre (ECC) received more than 4,000 complaints from consumers across Europe who had difficulties receiving compensation in cases of delayed or cancelled flights.

Last year, approximately one quarter of all recorded complaints were in the area of transport, with 46% of these relating specifically to air passenger rights.
