Judgment_paragraph 57 · Caisse de retraite du personnel navigant professionnel de l'aéronautique civile (CRPNPAC) v Vueling Airlines SA v Vueling Airlines SA and Jean-Luc Poignant (C-370/17, C-37/18)

57As regards the second condition, it is clear from the Court’s case-law in relation to the determination of the law applicable to individual contracts of employment, for the purposes of Article 19(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1), that the work relationship of flight and cabin crew of an airline has a significant connection with the place from which they principally discharge their obligations to their employer. That place is the place where or from which those persons carry out their transport-related tasks, where they return to after their tasks, receive instructions concerning their tasks and organise their work, and the place where their work tools are situated, which may be the same place as their ‘home base’ (see, by analogy, judgment of 14 September 2017, Nogueira and Others, C-168/16 and C‑169/16, EU:C:2017:688, paragraphs 60, 63, 69, 73 and 77).
