C/2024/3887
(Case C-405/23,
Touristic Aviation Services)
(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Air transport - Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 - Compensation for air passengers in the event of long delay of flights - Article 5(3) - Exemption from the obligation to pay compensation - Extraordinary circumstances - Shortage of staff of the airport operator providing baggage loading services)
(C/2024/3887)
Language of the case: German
Referring court
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: Touristic Aviation Services Limited
Respondent: Flightright GmbH
Operative part of the judgment
Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91,
must be interpreted as meaning that
the fact of there being an insufficient number of staff of the airport operator responsible for the operations of loading baggage onto planes may constitute an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ within the meaning of that provision. However, in order to be exempted from its obligation to pay compensation to passengers provided for in Article 7 of that regulation, the air carrier whose flight has experienced a long delay on account of such an extraordinary circumstance is required to show that that circumstance could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken and that it adopted measures appropriate to the situation to avoid the consequences thereof.
