Repeal: “Airline Safety And Comfort Disclosures”
Category: Repeal | Target: GA#722
Proposed by: National Coraland of Fishery, Co-authored by: Haymarket Riot, Bisofeyr | Onsite Topic
The World Assembly,
Recognizing the importance of air travel in facilitating global connectivity and economic development, and the potential need for transparency in airline operations,
Believing that not all consumer protections are created equally, and the minutiae of specific industries should usually remain within the jurisdiction of individual members unless a grave humanitarian or international need is shown,
Frustrated that the target resolution, “Airline Safety And Comfort Disclosures,” contains numerous flaws that make compliance overly burdensome and its mandates confusing and impractical, including:
- Mandating all customary languages be used in distributed materials in 3(e), even for Indigenous languages or non-technical languages for which translating information may be difficult or impossible; and
- Strangely and inappropriately implementing regulations on cannibalism in 6(b);
Concerned that the resolution creates difficulty in arranging flights between members and non-members, as such arrangements must follow World Assembly protocol as per 2(b), which for many non-members may cause hesitation as additional bureaucratic hurdles infringe on their bottom line.
Disappointed that 7(a) discourages third-party entities (i.e. employers) from paying for flights on behalf of passengers (i.e. employees) because the passenger gets the refund or free rebooking in the case of a canceled flight as opposed to the person who paid for the flight.
Believing that the meager benefits of consumers having slightly more useful information do not outweigh the commercial implications nor the sheer quantity of paperwork required, most of which is not of interest to passengers, and
Confident that a replacement resolution can address consumer rights sufficiently and that the target resolution does not meaningfully add to these rights,
Hereby repeals “Airline Safety And Comfort Disclosures.”
