7th Circuit finds direct claims under EU Reg. 261/2004 unenforceable in the US

The US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit found in the case Volodarskiy et al. vs Delta Airlines, Inc. that claims of passengers under the European Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 on passenger rights in cases of flight delay and cancellation are unenforceable in the US, as long as they are not incorporated in the airline’s general terms of carriage. Such claims can only be enforced before the courts of the EU Member States.
