The European Court of Justice has said that airlines cannot levy additional charges if a consumer cancels a flight. The European Court of Justice (EJC) also ruled that carriers can no longer levy extra charges against customers who either miss or cancel their flights. The ruling means airlines can no longer hide those additional charges in the airfare or cancellation fees. VZBV said Air Berlin’s website also indicated that taxes and charges charged by airlines were much lower than those actually paid to airports. Germany’s Federal Court of Justice, which heard the original complaint, asked the ECJ to rule on whether EU rules permit airlines to hide the true cost of the additional charges.
