A voluntary agreement on behalf of its members flying to, from, and within Europe will cover the repatriation of passengers unable to return home due to an airline ceasing operations as a result of financial failure.
‘I am delighted to say that passengers left stranded in the rare and unfortunate event of an airline bankruptcy will be offered ‘rescue fares’ from airlines to ensure they can get home,’ said Tony Tyler, IATA’s director general.
In the event of an airline bankruptcy, IATA member airlines flying to and from the European Union will make their best efforts to offer repatriation to passengers stranded away from home. These passengers will be given access to discounted transport to return home, subject to available capacity.

The ‘rescue fares’ of a nominal amount will be available for purchase up to a maximum of two weeks after the event to anyone flying to and from or within Europe who does not already possess insurance covering this eventuality.
