Summary/Abstract: The paper points to problems arising from multi-center and multi-level regulation of contracts of carriage of passengers after the entry into force of regulations issued by the institutions of the European Union. The provisions of various acts, enacted by various institutions at different times, being subject to different rules of interpretation apply to one contract of carriage. EU Regulations refer to different and inconsistent criteria of validity which are not always easy to verify. Moreover, those regulations allow the temporary exemptions from their application, which arise from the provisions of domestic law, other than the provisions governing contracts of carriage. The author describes consequences of the adopted method of protection of passengers in the European Union. The paper includes also some comments on the development prospects of the passengers protection system in the European Union law for the purpose of ensuring not only the high level of such protection, but also the clarity of the solutions and their effectiveness.
