This law is applicable to all passengers departing from an airport within the EU and to all passengers travelling into an EU Member State on an EU carrier unless they have received assistance in the country of departure. In the event of a disruption of flight schedule, KU will be taking steps to minimize the inconvenience and make any waiting time as comfortable as possible.
