How do the differing positions of Airlines for Europe and AirHelp reflect the potential consequences of this proposed regulation?

This proposal to revise EU flight passenger rights regulation aims to clarify the definition of "extraordinary circumstances" and potentially reduce airline compensation payouts. The revision is driven by A4E, which argues that the current regulation leads to high litigation costs. However, AirHelp counters that this would primarily benefit airlines' profits, leaving passengers with fewer protections and potentially causing significant confusion due to varying global regulations.
