In the judgment under review, the Court of Justice of the European Union, once again, addresses a debated issue in both case law and legal doctrine, concerning the recognition of a passenger’s right to compensation in the event of a flight delay. In the present case, the Court denied the right to compensation to a passenger who, after being informed of the delay of the original flight, independently purchased an alternative flight and reached the final destination with a delay of less than three hours compared to the originally scheduled arrival time. The Court found that, under such circumstances, the passenger had not suffered any serious inconvenience warranting compensation.
