This info is not entirely correct: they cite ‘the bulletin’, which links to sources that say Brussels airlines is planning to make 3000 unnecessary flights, as part of 18.000 flights planned by their mother company Lufthansa. Lufthansa published this news themselves, I presume they also hope the rules get changed. Not that one should have sympathy for the airline, but it’s good to keep the facts straight. And note that in this case, pressure on the EU officials could still help prevent (at least a part of) these flights.
