  1. Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 – Rights for Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs)

  2. IACA was in favour of Reg. 1107/2006 • Principles: • all PRMs to be treated fairly • no discrimination between passengers • solidarity between all pax using a given airport • Consequences: • airports made responsible for • providing assistance • organizing related funding • risks inherent to the transfer of these duties to a monopoly

  3. IACA’s vision on EU Reg. 1107/2006 • Through the Regulation, airlines are entitled to rights: • consultation airlines ↔ airports on charge setting • co-decision with airports on service standards • involvement in the selection of subcontractors • transparency for the establishment of PRM handling charges = > PRM charges to be reasonable, cost-related, and reflect economies of scale

  4. Results after implementation ? • IACA members comply fully … but the PRM handling service providers do not • IACA no longer a fan of Regulation 1107/2006 … unless correctly implemented by airports / NEBs

  5. IACA’s report on implementation of EU Reg. 1107/2006 • Service levels • Drop in quality at many airports since entry into force • Problems with pre-notification by pax • Wrong codes used • Late pre-notification

  6. IACA’s report on implementation of EU Reg. 1107/2006 • PRM charge setting: unacceptable • “Transparent” ? ↔ no or “tick in the box” consultation process ↔ subcontractors selected without the required involvement of airlines • “Cost-related” ? ↔uniform PRM charge per country • “Reasonable” ? ↔ no benefits of economies of scale ↔ airports have hijacked situation to include a mark-up => PRM costs tripled !

  7. Should Regulation be revised ? • No revision needed • However : • correct implementation of existing rules • Observation : Member States lack skills and expertise to deal with airlines’ complaints on PRM charges
