The agreement, which has been negotiated for over a decade, also means that passengers with reduced mobility have the right to compensation or rebooking by airlines if they miss a flight due to lack of assistance, Parliament said in a press release.
Another point is that airlines are not allowed to charge an additional fee for people with reduced mobility to sit with accompanying passengers.
The agreement also concerns rules on compensation for flight delays and cancellations as well as increased transparency and comparability in ticket pricing.
