However the ECJ judgment in Sturgeon v Condor and Bock v Air France

given on 19th November 2009 held that delayed passengers whose flights arrived 3 or more hours after the scheduled time were entitled to cash compensation provided in Article 7 of Regulstion 261/04 which in the case of a flight from Frankfurt to New York would be 600 euros per person. |
Very nice idea to provide good facilities to passengers by airport authorities, if the flight is delayed or canceled.
