20A ‘flight’ is not defined by Regulation No 261/2004. However, it is apparent from settled case-law that a flight consists in an air transport operation, being as it were a ‘unit’ of such transport, performed by an air carrier which fixes its itinerary (judgments of 10 July 2008 in Emirates Airlines, C‑173/07, EU:C:2008:400, paragraph 40, and 13 October 2011 in Sousa Rodríguez and Others, C‑83/10, EU:C:2011:652, paragraph 27).
