IAPA urges MEPs to act on EU CRS code of conduct
Consumer Groups Urge MEPs to Decisively Reject “Decisive Influence” in Plenary Amendment #48.
Parliament must provide clarity and certainty regarding protections for 280 million airline and rail consumers.
Ahead of the European Parliament’s plenary votes on amendments to the Computer Reservation System (CRS) Code of Conduct in Brussels on 4 September, the International Airline Passengers Association and Business Travel Coalition wrote to Parliamentarians urging them to continue to protect Europe’s 280 million consumers of air and rail services. “Consumers require complete access to and accurate information about all airline and rail travel choices in order to ensure they are not subject to or misled into paying higher fares,” said Jonathan French, IAPA Industry Affairs Spokesman. Anti-consumer language in plenary amendment #48 is dangerously ambiguous and would allow for an interpretation that the CRS consumer protections apply to absolutely no airline.
