欧盟同意提高飞行延迟补偿门槛值,减少对乘客的付款。 EU agrees to raise flight delay compensation thresholds, reducing payouts to passengers.

欧盟理事会已同意提高航空公司赔偿的门槛,这有可能减少对延迟飞行的乘客赔偿。 The EU Council has agreed to raise the threshold for airline compensation, potentially reducing passenger compensation for delayed flights. 根据新规则,只有在低于3 500公里的飞行延迟4小时,较长飞行延迟6小时,高于目前的3小时标准之后,才应支付赔偿金。 Under the new rules, compensation will only be due after a four-hour delay for flights under 3,500 km and six-hour delays for longer flights, up from the current three-hour standard. 欧洲议会在修改生效之前有四个月的时间来反对。 The European Parliament has four months to object before the changes take effect. 这一决定是在航空公司大力游说后作出的,尽管欧盟一些国家反对。 This decision comes after intense lobbying from airlines and despite opposition from some EU countries.
