Michael Stark, deputy director of the Department for Transport’s aviation consumer policy team, said the government was committed to further consultation on reforming EU261 and passenger rights following Brexit, which means the UK can set its own rules.
He told Abta’s Aviation Forum in London: “There seems to be rare consensus in the industry it needs to be reformed. I am quietly confident this can be achieved when the alternative is sticking with a regulation everyone agrees does not work for them.”
