Chelluri v Air India Ltd: CA 21 Dec 2021

Whether an air passenger with a single booking, departing from one country outside the EU/UK[1], and arriving at another country outside the EU/UK, can rely on the relevant Regulation dealing with compensation for flight delays, in circumstances where the third of the four legs that made up that single reservation was late leaving Heathrow. In his judgment dated 22 January 2021, HHJ Berkley (‘the judge’) allowed an appeal against the decision of the district judge, and rejected that claim.
