[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As of May 1st<\/sup>, 2022, Austrian law provides for a new place of jurisdiction for passenger claims in Austria based on Regulation 261\/2004.<\/p>\n

According to the new \u00a7 101a of the Austrian Act on Jurisdiction<\/a> (Jurisdiktionsnorm<\/em>), a passenger may choose to initiate proceedings before the court in whose jurisdiction the respective flight\u00b4s place of arrival<\/strong> or place of departure<\/strong> is located.<\/p>\n

This new provision is applicable in cases in which Brussels I Regulation (recast) does not apply (i.e., when the air carrier is located outside the EU) and aims to provide for an equal treatment of such air carriers and those located in a member state of the EU. Until now, passengers were in many cases not able to initiate proceedings against an air carrier located outside the EU, unless the Austrian Supreme Court decided that initiating proceedings where the air carrier is located would be an unreasonable burden for the respective passenger.<\/p>\n
