EU tells airlines passenger rules maintained despite Iran crisis

​The ​European Commission ‌on Friday told ​airlines all passenger protection ‌rules are maintained as the impact of the Iran war ‌on the jet fuel ‌market is not severe enough.

Airlines could only be exempted from ⁠paying ​financial compensation ⁠to passengers in case of ⁠a flight cancellation in case ​of local fuel shortages, the ⁠EU Commission said in ⁠a ​series of guidelines issued for airlines, confirming a ⁠Thursday report from Reuters.

Charging retroactively additional ⁠fees ⁠such as fuel surcharges is not allowed, ‌it ‌added.
