What are the potential consequences of raising the compensation threshold for flight delays and cancellations in the EU?

The EU is considering changes to air passenger rights that could significantly reduce compensation for flight disruptions. Currently, passengers are compensated for delays over three hours or cancellations; the proposed changes would raise this threshold to five or nine hours, depending on flight distance. This could impact nearly 85% of passengers currently eligible for compensation, according to consumer groups.
