The Makabayan bloc has filed House Bill 6738, or the Magna Carta of Air Passengers rights.
House Deputy Minority leader and ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro said the bill if enacted will replace the obsolete and ineffective Department of Transportation and Communications —Department of Trade and Industry Joint Administrative Order 01-2012, providing for the Bill of Rights of Air Passengers and Airline Obligations.
The bloc said despite increasing profits from a growing air industry business, airline companies have wantonly disregarded passengers’ rights, confident that Filipino airline passengers do not generally demand for remedies against abuse due to the expensive and tedious legal processes that normally favor the rich and the powerful and not the victims.
“Worse, legal recourse for passengers against airline companies have proved difficult and costly, practically rendering ineffective their right under the Warsaw Convention, the Montreal Convention, and other international law norms that provide remedies for violation of air passengers’ rights. The measure also provides for the right to receive the full value of the service purchase, right to mandatory fare discount, right to refund, right to cancel flight, right to rebook a flight, right to be processed for check-in, right to board an aircraft for the purpose of flight, right to equal protection, right to be respected, right to baggage and property security, right to safety, right for redress and compensation, right of a passenger for delayed and cancel flights.
