EU Mulls New Air Travel Taxes and Delay Compensation Rules

The European Union is considering new regulations that will significantly impact air travel. Proposed changes include introducing taxes on carry-on baggage and modifying compensation rules for flight delays. Passengers interviewed at an airport expressed mixed reactions. "It's already expensive," said one traveler, voicing concern over potential additional costs. An expert from a passenger rights firm explained that the new rules aim to reduce the number of compensation claims by raising the threshold for delays that qualify for compensation. While the exact details are still pending, these changes are expected to affect both airlines and passengers across the EU.
