Passenger rights
EU legislation requires all travellers to be informed of the identity of the airline which will actually operate any flight to or from an EU airport, or as part of a journey which begins or ends in the EU. And if the operator changes, the passenger should be informed of the identity of the new airline at the earliest opportunity.
