Consumer Protection: Passenger Rights vs Protectionism Airlines, passengers, and governments have a shared goal of getting to destinations comfortably and ontime. Airlines are committed to looking after their customers and, due to the fiercely competitive market, are highly incentivized to do so. When things do not go according to plan, airlines agree with the concept of passenger protection to underline this commitment. But the proliferation of passenger rights regimes around the world creates difficulties for the industry and confusion for customers. In addition, prescriptive regimes can have unintended consequences for consumers, including higher fares, lower connectivity, and greater inconvenience. It is vital that governments, regulators and the flying public understand the balance between protecting consumer rights and protecting sustainable air services. Appropriate regulations, globally coordinated, can give passengers confidence while ensuring the freedom to fly. Rather than regulations “defending” passengers, they should be framed as a partnership between consumers and the industry, aimed at encouraging competition, innovation, consumer confidence and enhanced air connectivity.

The evolution of digital technologies is starting to transform the way airlines fundamentally operate and organize their businesses. This development is irreversible and accelerating. In the next decade, winners and losers in the industry will be largely determined by their ability to understand and capitalize on digital opportunities.
