The European Commission has requested airlines to standardize luggage sizes to simplify travel for passengers and reduce hidden extra costs. The Commission prefers to let the industry create the rules, and has proposed measures to reinforce passengers' rights legislation, including a standard EU-wide reimbursement form and increased awareness of their rights.

Ryanair, Europe's top airline, has called on the EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, to take urgent action to protect overflights and EU citizens' freedom of movement during the French ATC strike on November 20th. With 65 days of ATC strikes in 2023, over 13 times more than in 2022, France has used Minimum Service Laws to protect French flights, forcing thousands of EU overflights to be cancelled. Ryanair has called on passengers to join its "Protect Passengers: Keep EU Skies Open" petition , as over 2 million passengers have already done so. The airline believes that France should protect overflights during ATC strikes, similar to Spain, Italy, and Greece, and cancel flights to or from the affected state.
