Now The Danish Transport Authority (DTA) has given the waiting passengers some clarity.

The 12 airlines covered by the deadline are SAS, Norwegian, easyJet, Ryanair, Aegean Airlines, Air France, Brussels Airlines, KLM, Lufthansa, TAP Portugal, Thai Air and Vueling.
The measures include journeys that were canceled by the airlines and that originate from an airport in Denmark.
They will also apply to trips originating from EU member states and ending at a Danish airport.

The measures apply to bookings where both the outbound and return flights have been canceled or if the outbound flight has been canceled and the return flight can therefore not be completed.
DTA will continuously assess whether similar measures will be taken vis-ร -vis other airlines.
Failure to meet deadlines will result in an airline being reported for non-compliance with EU rules on the rights of air passengers.
