Language of the case: German
Appellants: A***** and B*****
Respondent: C***** GmbH
Must Article 2(f) and (j) of Regulation No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) be interpreted as meaning that Regulation No 261/2004 is applicable when a tour operator, with which [an air carrier] has no contractual relationship, and of whose activity on behalf of the passenger [the air carrier] is unaware, books a flight with that air carrier on behalf of the passenger, in respect of which the air carrier issues a booking confirmation?
Must Article 7(1), Article 4(3) and Article 2(f) and (j) of Regulation No 261/2004 be interpreted as meaning that the operating air carrier is obliged to compensate a passenger if a tour operator with which it has no contractual relationship, and of whose activity on behalf of the passenger it is unaware, books a flight with that air carrier on behalf of the passenger, in respect of which the air carrier issues a booking confirmation; the tour operator – without being prompted by the air carrier – informed the passenger a few hours before the planned flight that the flight had been rescheduled due to a change in flight number, flight time and final destination; the passenger – although already checked in for the flight – did not, therefore, present himself for boarding under the conditions laid down in Article 3(2) of the regulation; however, the flight originally booked was actually operated as planned; and the air carrier would have carried the passenger if he had presented himself for boarding under the conditions laid down in Article 3(2) of the regulation?
