Question No 39 by Reinhard Rack 
Subject: Compensation for flight delays
Serious delays are increasingly occurring in air transport within Europe, causing major inconvenience to passengers. Does the Commission envisage the possibility of amending Regulation (EC) No 261/2004
(1)
in such a way as to require financial compensation to be paid to air passengers according to the length of the delay, in the same way as for rail passengers?
