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.
