86Third, the standardised and immediate compensatory measures such as the rerouting of passengers, the supply of refreshments, meals or accommodation or the making available of means of communication with third parties are designed to cater for passengers' immediate needs on the spot, whatever the cause of the flight's cancellation or delay.
